about BEWell

BEWell (Building Engagement and Well-being through Electronic Life-like Learning) is an innovative digital course designed to support mental health and well-being among university students. it integrates evidence-based methods from positive psychology and health education with cutting-edge digital technologies, offering engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experiences that foster mental wellness. the course is grounded in a new theory of well-being (Seligman, 2011; Donaldson, 2019; Kočí, 2024) and develops knowledge and skills across ten key domains of a fulfilling life: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, physical health, mindset, environment, financial security, and authenticity. these pillars form the foundation of the course’s individual learning modules.

what problems BEWell solves

current statistics reveal that 20% of university students are diagnosed with serious mental health conditions (WHO, 2023), and approximately 60% experience depression, anxiety, or other forms of psychological distress (Ochnik et al., 2021). by leveraging gamification, AI-driven active discussions with avatars and researchers, and interactive activities, BEWell empowers students not only to manage the inevitable stress of university life but also to enhance their well-being, improve academic performance, and rediscover the joy and excitement of learning (Gan et al., 2022; Ribeiro-Silva et al., 2022; Morgan & Simmons, 2021; Keskin et al., 2020; Lister et al., 2021; Valenzuela-García et al., 2022; Abelson et al., 2022). the ongoing collection of student well-being data, integrated into the course, allows us to respond quickly to their needs and continually adapt course content.
the project addresses pressing issues, including the increasing prevalence of mental health challenges, academic failure, and student attrition, all of which have significant economic impacts on education systems. BEWell creatively overcomes the limitations of traditional tertiary education through innovation, flexibility, accessibility, and its ability to meet the needs of modern students.

our team

our diverse team comprises academics, educators, researchers, and practical education specialists, united by a shared passion for working with students and a commitment to innovation in digital learning. the team is led by Dr. Jana Kočí, Ph.D., an expert in academic well-being in the Czech Republic who is internationally recognized for her work. with 18 years of experience in academia, she brings unique expertise and practical insights to the project.

global aspects of BEWell

advanced technologies make the learning process more targeted, efficient, and adaptable to student needs, market changes, and new regulations compared to static, traditional educational approaches. our target users include universities and students worldwide, primarily in Europe, the USA, and Asia. the project builds on global partnerships with Charles University, 4EU+ alliance universities, and institutions in the USA and Asia, ensuring culturally sensitive and scalable solutions. to date, there is no comparable product on the market while an emerging trend shows that students increasingly prioritize institutions that provide quality campus life and well-being support over institutional prestige.

university students represent a highly specific target group, systematically underserved by many institutions and almost entirely overlooked by the private sector, which has yet to fully explore the potential of modern educational methods. universities often struggle to address student well-being effectively, presenting us with a unique opportunity to become a key partner for universities globally and a dominant force in supporting university students’ mental health and satisfaction. our global expansion is underpinned by the platform’s scalability and adaptability to various cultures and languages.

Anotace

Chcete pracovat na vlastním well-beingu, studovat ve větší pohodě – a dost možná i úspěšněji? Pak by pro vás tento kurz mohl být tou správnou volbou. Univerzity v poslední době zaznamenávají zvýšený zájem o studium tohoto fenoménu a samy chtějí well-being svých studentů aktivně podporovat. Tento celosemestrální on-line kurz je navržený tak, aby účastníkům poskytl hlubší porozumění nejnovějších přístupů a teorií. Výsledkem je osvojení návyků budujících vlastní pohodu, která pozitivně ovlivní nejen vás, ale i vaše studijní výsledky. Na každém z plánovaných webinářů se stručně podíváme na nejnovější vědecké poznatky z oblasti well-beingu, představíme si výzkumem ověřené aktivity budující pohodu a vyzkoušíme si, jak takové aktivity aplikovat do každodenního života studenta. Začneme společným zhodnocením dat získaných v oboru pozitivní psychologie v posledních dvou desetiletích. Pozornost zaměříme na relativně nový rámec podpory well-beingu, PERMA5, který představuje základní stavební kameny štěstí, na jež se zaměříme v průběhu následujícího semestru. Probereme například fyzické zdraví, pozitivní myšlení, vytváření pozitivního prostředí, ekonomické bezpečí, pozitivní emoce, angažovanost, dobré vztahy, smysl života, úspěch a naší autenticitu. Společně se webinář po webináři prostřednictvím přednášek, skupinových diskusí a procvičovacích aktivit naučíme pečovat o svůj well-being, díky němuž si kousek po kousku poskládáme spokojený studentský život.

what do students think?

"What I appreciate the most is that this class, thanks to the teacher Jana's approach, became my favorite class. The lectures were playful, interactive and very entertaining. Thanks to teacher’s educating style, I memorized much more information compared to other classes. And what I really enjoyed was the final exam, which was in the form of a quiz, rather than test and it was a beautiful but also sad ending of this course."

"This class opened my eyes and helped me to change the perception of many parts of each individual's everyday life and impacts of those behaviors. This class influenced me a lot. Thank you."

"I appreciate everything, the class was mainly a great experience and I haven't been looking forward to going to school like I was for these classes for a long time. I wish I had more! Thank you for the new knowledge about health, which I manage to apply to my life to better manage the pressure of the 5th grade :)"

"Doctor Jana works with new educational methods, new educational programs, her classes are very inspiring. She uses new communicational technologies, performs pleasant communication with students, performs helpfulness, desire to help. I appreciate cooperation of the teacher with students."

"Ms. doctor Jana is probably the most pleasant and the most passionate teacher at the university. Your enthusiasm, the speed of communication and the way you teach, this is how I would expect it in all the people who have to show future teachers how to teach. That is a pity that you're the first one I can say this about after four years at the university."

"Dr. Jana is able to transmit positive energy even across distance over distance learning. Her approach is amazing and I was excited about her classes. I may never have had experienced a more pleasant atmosphere in the class. There was a frequent interaction during lessons, we always received positive feedback, there was no stress... At the same time, the subject was very practical. There is nothing to complain about."

"I have nothing to complain about. Very well structured lectures. I have learned a lot during psychohygiene and well-being classes. Not only thanks to the interesting content of lectures but also thanks to Dr. Kočí's great approach."

"It was a pleasure to go to Ms. Jana's classes. She was always in a positive mood, the classes were well organized and thanks to the activities in the seminars I gathered a lot of practical activities that I can use in my practice. She always gladly accepted the students' opinion and whenever something was not clear to us, she explained it. The exam was very similar to the whole class - stress-free and enjoyable."

"I would like to commend Dr. Jana for the practical classes organization, and her human and kind approach. The practice was organizationally brilliant, and even though Ms. doctor had to deftly respond to the changes caused by the Covid pandemic, everything worked out smoothly. The class discussions were really rewarding, almost more than class observations itself."

"Ms. Kočí is the nicest person at the faculty, she can't even frown :) At first I was a bit skeptical about Leisure Time Pedagogy, but Ms. Kočí showed me that it doesn't pay off to judge in advance."

"Lessons were always very professionally prepared with a very nicely graphically presented presentations. Lessons were often based on practical tips, class discussion, etc. It did not happen to me for a long time that I would be able to keep my full attention during whole lectures like over these classes."

"Dr. Jana is absolutely amazing. She taught this class very well. Her interest in the topic was visible, so the lessons were very interesting and rewarding."

"Even though the participation on classes is optional, I have attended all 4 blocks this semester. For us students, optional participation does not mean that we do not have to go to seminars, but that we are trusted that we know ourselves that it is good to attend this course."

One of the best teacher’s course preparation.

"I really appreciate the energy and positive mood of Ms. Dr. Jana. She enriched me with many interesting findings, which I will definitely use in my professional and personal life, and in addition she always gave me a lot of positive energy."

"Very helpful approach of the teacher. I was extremely satisfied with how she communicates with the students and how she approaches them. A very beneficial class. Other teachers could be inspired on how to work with university students."

"I have nothing to complain about. Very well structured lectures. I have learned a lot during psychohygiene classes. Not only thanks to the interesting content of lectures but also thanks to Dr. Jana's great approach."
