Monkey in my chair
AUSTRALIA
 MissingSchool developed the “Monkey in My Chair” programme
for kids having treatment for cancer.
 The kids receive a Monkey, who can go to school when the kid is
too sick to attend, and sit in the kid’s place in the classroom.
 In addition to each "Monkey Kit," each child will be given online
access to Monkey Message, an online component that allows
the sharing of pictures and documents to ensure the line of
communication stays open between the patient and the
classroom.

Webchair
GERMANY/NL/BELGIUM
 The webchair is a Mobile Device (mostly a
notebook) with a camera in classroom.
 So students who are isolated (eg. quarantine)
are able to steer its camera and interact with
classmates and teachers.

Educational Robotics
ITALY
 In the Gaslini Children Hospital in Genova they
use the principles of 'Educational Robotics' in a
hospital context.
 This means that a team of teachers and experts
from the Robotics School of the CNR (Natioanl
Research Centre) teach the students with
medical needs how to build little robots.

Aventura Tok Tok
SPAIN
 This tool, not specifically designed for HHE,
allows the creation of virtual network,
promoting the interaction between hospitalised
kids.
 They can then publish their own works
(characters, environments…) and to broadcast
them to the rest of the platform users.

Pupil Passport
UK
 Willow Bank School (WBS, Part of the Hospital
School in Leicester) use a pupil ‘Passport’ as a
way of collecting and using significant data on
pupils.
 It’s an on-line form which enables schools and
medical personnel to contribute to the
information about the pupil’s medical and
educational history.

The starting point
 Students in hospital or ill at home face isolation
and cannot access mainstream education.
 ICT can play a key role in providing better
communication and mediation of the
educational processes whilst a student is absent
from school due to a medical condition.
The issue of HHE
(Home and Hospital Education)
 Providing education to children and youngsters with
medical or psychological needs: a world-wide problem
 Every country has its own solution for it.
  Need for an international confrontation on this
subject
 In some countries there are online/digital solutions
that may help the schools and the family to guarantee
the right to education also to these children.
Aims of this project
 Outline key educational factors & good
practices needed by ill students;
 Explore and design ICT-based solutions which
will enable children in hospital, in home
therapy, or who attend school part-time, to
access education.
 Verify how technology can impact on the
methodology and pedagogy in Home and
Hospital Education (HHE).
Not only for ill people
 Moreover, the initiatives adopted in the HHE,
which represents an educational extreme
are designed to be innovative and to improve
education in difficult contexts.

 They may also be effectively applied in
‘normal’ didactical situations.
