- Knowledge networks can be used to support alternative learning methods at university courses. A method is proposed for activating the students in the learning processes at university courses. The method combines: 1) Active learning where students are training each other, 2) eLearning from intranet based knowledge networks, and 3) Problem Based Learning. The method has been tested and evaluated at two university courses with a total of 127 students and the results show that: 1) Students show a high appreciation of the method, 2) Teachers show a positive interest in the method, and 3) The method makes learning more efficient and is recommended to be used at university courses ingeneral where the theoretical scope of the course can be represented in a knowledge network.

- It is easier for students to learn tacit skills if they get much feedback on their behavior. Extensive resources are required for providing students with enough quantities and qualities of a specific feedback that is directly related to the students’ skills or lack of skills. We demonstrate how the demand for extensive feedback resources can be decreased by allowing the students to review film-clips from situations when they and their fellow students received qualified feedback. We will demonstrate a strategy in which we can film students’ behaviors by using cost effective filming techniques. The films allowed the students to study their own behavior in detail. Our conclusions from the study is that the presented type of strategy for supporting learning works very well and we advise other researchers to test similar strategies when they need to mass-produce teaching of tacit skills.

Assignments that increase students' motivation in online courses
- 2010

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is a high drop-out rate in distance courses. One of the reasons for this is that students miss the informal and collegial contact with other students that can be provided in on-campus courses. The presented study is based on an assumption that if students could be promoted to give each other more personal online feedback the students would also take initiatives to informal and collegial contact via collaboration tools. The presented experiments demonstrate that a combination of assignments during distance courses will highly increase the amount of spontaneous feedback between students.
