Writing for a health literacy homepage

Promote a community approach to the latest health concepts in order to improve health literacy

Course description

Writing posts on the English language Data_Spirit_Health health literacy platform developed and maintained by the department staff on a weekly basis and analysing the reactions to the posts twice during the semester. The portal develops literature summaries on six topics, mainly for the 16-28 age group. The themes are Self, Physical, Community, Connection, Fun Facts, Health Tech. The aim is to promote a community approach to the latest health concepts in order to improve health literacy.

We recommend using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT 4o, Claude, DeepL and Adobe Firefly to create posts. A written guide for the use of these tools is available, and regular consultations with the faculty members in charge of the programme provide guidance on their use.

It is recommended that post topics are selected from the Medscape literature aggregation portal, where a daily newsletter can be set up by sorting by subject area.

Schedule

The course will take place between 3 February and 9 May 2025.

The consultations will happen every Thursday, from 16:00 to 17:30 CET, starting on 6 February.

Requirements

Writing and posting one post per week individually for 14 weeks under the mentorship of program faculty.

Credits are earned by writing a minimum of 12 posts, which is awarded with a mark of distinction. The name of the student who made the post will appear after the post as the author, if they agree.
