What started in Berlin has grown into a movement across Germany!

In 2021, Scorion started its journey in Germany with an exciting partnership in Berlin. Our first partners were the midwifery and nursing programs, which was a big step forward in bringing such an innovative system to Germany. At that time, using a portfolio-based system was completely new and a big test for the future of digital tools in education.

Today, these programs have been using Scorion for several years, improving and developing their portfolios along the way. With many changes happening in healthcare education, these programs are now also implementing and testing Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). This is an exciting development that many other universities in Germany are watching closely.

Another major milestone was creating Germany’s first Scorion portfolio for human medicine. This project focuses on competency-based documentation of clinical skills during the practical year (PJ), while supporting the professional development of medical students. (For more details, visit: Charité PJ E-Portfolio).

Soon after, the dentistry field also joined the Scorion family, showing how flexible the system is. Following these projects in Berlin, Scorion has expanded to other top institutions in Germany. This includes our work at the HAW Hamburg, where two portfolios are now in use, and a recent kick-off in Frankfurt. At Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Scorion is being used to help midwifery and nursing programs with modern digital tools for documenting practical training. (Learn more about this exciting project here: Innovative Digital Documentation).

We are very happy to see Scorion’s journey in Germany gaining momentum. The growing interest from universities shows the need for innovative digital solutions in education. With every new project, we aim to help institutions create portfolios for learning at the workplace that support both students and educators.

Looking ahead, we are inspired by the collaboration and progress happening across Germany. We are excited to keep growing and working with institutions that share our vision of transforming education with our tool Scorion.
