Based on these experiences, recommendations will be derived.
Methods:
The course was designed and developed based on a comprehensive requirements analysis and tested in a two-stage evaluation. Result: The key factors for creating the online course were identified and recommendations and strategies to enhance AI literacy are given.
Conclusion:
Online training courses offer the possibility to integrate AI literacy aspects into healthcare professionals’ education. Future work should focus on further evaluation.
