Aim: The study aimed to investigate what characterizes the use of digital technology in bachelor-level practice placements in health programs.

Background: Practice placement for health students in higher education is complex and suffers from a lack of personnel and scant resources. However, the requirements and expectations of the students in managing an evidence-based practice are increasing. This decade, digital transformation in society and higher education can potentially improve students learning in higher education and practice placement due to increased availability for closer communication and collaboration.

Design: A systematic review of reviews was conducted based on Joanna Briggs Institute Framework.

Methods: Bibliographical databases were searched for studies published between 2010-2022. Out of 4891 screened articles, 15 met eligibility criteria and were included in this review.

Results: The analysis revealed three main topics that elucidate what characterises the use of digital technology in placements: Leveraging digital solutions for enhanced practical learning; Empowering student learning and confidence in practice placement; and The value of interactive collaboration.

Conclusions: The findings show that digital technology used in a structured pedagogical framework may support and enhance students learning in practice placement. However, further work needs to be done to keep up with the rapid development of digital technology in practice placement in health work environments.

In the present study, the taxonomic position of Salisediminibacterium haloalkalitolerans was evaluated by determining the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, genome relatedness, and phylogenetic analyses. The 16S rRNA gene sequences extracted from the genomes of Salisediminibacterium haloalkalitolerans 10nlg and Salisediminibacterium halotolerans DSM 26530 showed 100% similarity, supporting their classification as the same species. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between S.

Intellectual property laws were not originally designed to address digital classrooms and shared online learning environments, but these concerns are now relevant to many educational institutions. The recent expansion of technology utilization in health professions education presents educators with the challenges to accurately interpret copyright law and implement best practices under the tenets of fair use. Discerning legal and ethical parameters relevant to copyright law will encourage the implementation of best practices in disseminating information and creating appropriate learning activities in the age of digital education.
