DiPaP(Digital Platformfor NursingTrainingwith Practice Placement Exchange) is a platform software for coordination centers in nursing training. It is particularly suitable for use at state level. The software was developed in collaboration with the Berlin Senate Department for Science, Health and Care. DiPaP is based entirely on open source. The platform includes the following features:
Exchange groups provide a place where people from the field can meet to share specific problems and pragmatic solutions. Materials, work templates and other aids can be exchanged here. The groups have a forum and an integrated video conference function.
The exchange groups are only accessible to registered persons. The registration procedure for these internal platform areas can be flexibly adapted. This includes invitation, subsequent activation and automatic activation for certain institutions.
Care facilities and training centers can expand their cooperation here. They can offer and find placements for nursing trainees in all care areas as well as places for elective placements. This applies to all training courses in accordance with the Nursing Professions Act:
Nursing specialist training, nursing assistant training and higher education nursing training.
At the same time, nursing schools and training associations can present themselves there in order to be found by new practice facilities.
The public area of DiPaP impresses with its extensive formats for presenting documents, appointments and frequently asked questions. The range of knowledge can be filtered according to any taxonomy: as soon as new content is available on certain topics, interested persons can be notified by e-mail. This means you are always up to date without receiving unnecessary notifications or having to visit the platform every day.
The Berlin Coordination Office for Nursing Education (KOPA) has been using DiPaP since 2020. The number of users has risen steadily and it is now impossible to imagine everyday life in Berlin’s nursing schools without it.
You are welcome to take a look at the platform for yourself at: https://kopa-berlin.de/. Registration is required for the internal areas.
If you are interested, please contact us and we will discuss how DiPaP can be used for you.
To provide an insight into the working methods and methodology of Konnektiv, we have documented the history of DiPaP for the KOPA platform in the following.
DiPaP has been developed since 2020 as part of a project with the Coordination Office for Nursing Education Berlin – KOPA – funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Science, Health and Care. Konnektiv was and is responsible for conception, design, programming, hosting and maintenance:
August 2020
In two workshops with the participation of stakeholders from all areas of nursing training (employees of the coordination office, practice coordinators, trainers, etc.), the needs were analyzed and initial design directions were defined.
September / Oktober 2020
A corporate design was then developed for the web platform as well as for other digital and analog products.
September bis November 2020
After the design came the implementation.
November 2020 bis Januar 2021
After training the KOPA team, the editorial content of the KOPA platform was created.
1. Februar 2021
Seit Februar 2021 bis heute
Konnektiv hosts the KOPA platform in a data center in Germany in compliance with data protection regulations and takes care of ongoing maintenance and the installation of security updates as well as the implementation of new features.
Mai bis Oktober 2023
An evaluation workshop was held in May 2023, at which many participants from the target group contributed their experiences and wishes for expansion. A revision concept was developed from this, resulting in a minor relaunch of DiPaP in October.
We would be happy to give you an individual presentation of the complete DiPaP software and clarify how DiPaP can be used in your company. Please contact us to arrange an appointment:
