1. About the client

"We need a huge number of people in healthcare, which is why we want accelerated pathways in education."
- Arjo van Nieuwamerongen, Director of the School of Healthcare, ROC Mondriaan The Hague

ROC Mondriaan School of Healthcare in The Hague trains students to become committed healthcare professionals. The school offers practice-oriented programmes at different levels, with a strong focus on personal development and craftsmanship. Students are prepared for a meaningful career in which theory and practice go hand in hand.

2. Challenge

"Personalised learning is about recognising the unique needs and talents of every student. By creating individual learning pathways, we can help students reach their full potential and keep learning throughout their lives."
- Jeffrey de Vreede, Educational Expert, ROC Mondriaan

ROC Mondriaan wanted to strengthen its personalised learning process. The challenge was to find a tool that puts ownership with the student while giving students, teachers and the organisation a clear overview. The goal was to let students accelerate, slow down or follow the standard programme, with the best possible guidance.

3. Approach and solution

Together with Skills Intelligence, ROC Mondriaan started a pilot in the work-based Nursing programme (BBL). By setting and evaluating programme goals based on the qualification file, and by formulating their own learning goals, students gained more insight into their learning pathway and progress. For teachers, progression coordinators, examination boards and workplace supervisors, Youvolve provided valuable insight into students' self-assessments. This supported development conversations, the alignment of tailored pathways and the adjustment of the curriculum for optimal personalised learning.

4. Results

Thanks to Youvolve, the number of requests for tailored pathways in the participating groups rose by 40% over the past year. In addition, more than 80% of students say they have more insight into their own learning pathway.

"Since we started working with Youvolve, we have far more insight into the development of our students."

Key results:

• Students have more insight into their programme and progress
• Teachers have better development conversations with students
• The curriculum has been renewed based on the insights gained

5. Next steps

ROC Mondriaan plans to roll out Youvolve to all work-based (BBL) students and, in the future, to full-time (BOL) students and other programmes.

"We will keep building the future of our education together with Skills Intelligence."
