The "E+DIETing_Lab" is an innovative, multidisciplinary project whose aim is to develop a digital platform for teaching and learning in dietetics. As part of the first stage of a multi-stage training option for prospective dietitians, virtual avatars will be used to practice dietetic counselling in real time.
This gives students a chance to practice the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in a safe environment before they begin working with real patients under expert guidance. Under the auspices of the St. Pölten UAS, a multiplier toolkit is being developed. A collection of guidelines and recommendations can serve as the basis for the effective use of digital tools in dietitians' training and practice, according to Alexandra Kolm, a student at the Institute of Health Sciences and a member of the Dietetics programme at the University of St. Pölten.

According to Kolm, the project is an important and innovative approach to the teaching and learning of nutrition experts in the healthcare sector, and it provides a new method of teaching and learning.
