“…The model is based on a combination of virtual and physical mobility activities. In addition, TOTEMM aims to investigate if the combination of activities can develop intercultural sensitivity [4]. In order to achieve its aims, 5 virtual mobility learning packages were cocreated by engaging stakeholders in midwifery (students, academics, experts in the topics, learning technologists) in the development process [5].…”

Equality, social inclusion, and participation of non-mobile midwifery students studying in England, Italy, Estonia and the Netherlands was of interest in this project. Five Virtual Learning Packages (VLPs) were created to address needs within maternity surrounding a sense of safety, positive lifestyle choices, needs for the migrant population, and psychological wellbeing for women and families. After reviewing the learning analytics for these TOTEMM VLP resources, they showed increase in peer engagement facilitation for most learners, showed consistent and completed usage through badges earned and module completions, and showed uptake of the required media and resources embedded into each lesson. Overall, the VLPs were well-designed and developed to produce results which demonstrate that learners can independently progress with minimal issues-or seek help via the help pages where necessary. There was moderate/strong peer-to-peer engagement, and anytime access was essential. A SWOT analysis was presented to detail where updates and improvement may be made to address limitations, and some data analysis limitations. The VLPs can be used by midwifery students to present much needed information validated by midwifery educators, and encourages peer to peer communication across Europe.
