Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The current higher education, both distance education and traditional campus courses,relies more and more on modern information and communication technologies (ICT).The use of computer systems and networks results in a wide range of security issues thatmust be dealt with in order to create a safe learning environment. In this work, we studythe security status within the Swedish Net University, where several universitiescollaborate in order to offer ICT supported higher education distance courses. The totalICT-security is defined as a combination of computer security and information security,and the focus in this work is on the information security. The four main components ofthe information security that are used in the study are: confidentiality, integrity,availability and accountability.The data gathering was made in two steps: first preliminary interviews then themain questionnaire. The interview respondents were a small number of students,teachers and ICT-experts at various universities, and the results of this preliminary studywere then used to complete the questionnaire. The main questionnaire was sent toapproximately 700 students, 100 lectures and 50 ICT-pedagogues. The answers wereanalysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. However, due to a relatively lowanswering rate, we must point out that the conclusions made are based on these limitedresults, and are therefore not necessarily generally applicable within the distanceeducation.The results show that both teachers and students involved in distance educationconsider that they have relatively good basic competence regarding the use of various ICT-resources. In addition, they consider that the computers and network connectionsthey are using have adequate technical standard. However, the respondents also expressa need for more information and training in various areas that are directly connected toinformation security issues. What is more, both students and teachers require thatadequate computer support is constantly available. Several respondents have notdeveloped procedures for backing up files in a regular basis. There seems also be someuncertainty concerning which measures should be taken in order to protect computersystem from viruses and also what should be done if the computer is infected. Manyteachers consider that the risk for cheating, especially for plagiarism, is greater in thedistance education than in campus courses. These teachers also spend more time toprevent this problem in distance courses, and may have special procedures in order todetect plagiarism.Even if several security issues are indicated, most of the respondents considerthat the general ICT-security in distance education has a relatively high standard. Thismay be a sign of some discrepancy between the users’ knowledge and their actualbehavior when they use the computer systems.

- In order to ensure and increase access to high-quality learning opportunities it is becoming more and more common to integrate e-learning into health-related environments. The rapid development of these new learning environments also requires continuous monitoring and evaluation, to guarantee the quality of the health-care education. In this project a holistic model based on a systems approach is used in order to evaluate a video conference-supported course in emergency medicine. Questionnaires and observations as well as interviews in groups and individually were used for data gathering. The course participants were 27 junior doctors, 18 from the Stockholm node and 9 from the Kalmar node; 11 lecturers were involved. The collaborative pedagogical approach was appreciated; all participants agreed that their peers contributed to the learning process. The greatest advantage of the course was that high-quality education was made available to a group of junior doctors who did not have alternative possibilities for participating in a traditional course. To offer a proficient video conference environment for synchronous two-way communication, the course must be developed at three levels: technical environment; individual information and communications technology skills; and course organisation. Potential users must be offered adequate training and technical support. The course organisation must encourage the sharing of responsibilities and tasks between the participating nodes.

- This work introduces an evaluation model for examining organisations that in one form or another depend on modern information technology for their core activities. The evaluation model, named SUV, is based on a systems science approach and has been developed at the eHealth Institute (eHälsoinstitutet) at the University of Kalmar.The central mechanism of the model, the SUV diagram, partitions the scope of evaluation into seven categories and three levels. The seven categories have been selected on a systems science basis with inspiration from systems thinking. The rationale for making this the starting point for the evaluation model is that it may be justifiably stated that the framework provided by systems thinking truly encompasses the breadth of human activity. Making use of this general framework, the SUV diagram provides a general roadmap to guide the evaluation effort. The three levels (organisation, technological and individual) were selected to add detail to the analysis complement the categories and enrich the analysis of each category as well as to the dynamic interplay among them.The SUV methodology is based on a continuous evaluation process whose driving-force is the wish of the interested parties to develop their own activities. It is a methodology within whose framework any and all methods for data gathering deemed appropriate for the evaluation at hand can be used. The use of multiple methods is explicitly encouraged for the purpose of gaining a multi-perspective view of the organisation/activity under scrutiny.Based on the accumulated findings from pilot studies, the model was operationalised in the form of an IT application for electronic surveys. The application is expected to contribute in making the evaluation process more efficient and add structure to this process.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes development work where an application specially adapted for essay-writing and supervision has been constructed, developed and tested. The aim of the programme development has been to create support for essay-writing and supervision. With the ambition of reinforcing important ingredients for effective supervision and essay-writing the aim and requirements for the Thesis Web Dialogue were formulated. The chief aim from the tutor's perspective was to facilitate organizing his or her supervision and efficiently follow and support the essay-writer. The essay-writers' chief aim was to find easy access to tutor support and information relevant to their essay work. The Thesis Web Dialogue was continuously developed and evaluated, a process which culminated on two evaluation occasions. The majority of the tutors and essay-writers who had tested or been introduced to the Thesis Web Dialogue are positive to its idea and function. The most positive is the student group. A few students have expressed their scepticism vis-à-vis the Thesis Web Dialogue. Some of these students feel uncertain when confronted with the technology, while some apparently want to avoid be subjected to higher demands and greater insight into their essay work. The result shows that the Thesis Web Dialogue can be of great help to many students and tutors. It is probably especially suitable for distance courses and/or essay courses where the tutor follows the essay writers for a fairly long time.
