Overview
The Academic Skills in Master’s Studies course is completed mainly through individual assignments and online exercises. A part of the course consists of optional content: students choose exercise entities according to their interest. This set-up creates challenges for both the student’s course experience and for the management of the course. Therefore the goal of the pilot is two-fold:
- to test different tools and activites for reaching the learning objetives through online means and to create a pleasant online exercise experiences to students in specific items connected to the overall goals and content of the course,
- to ensure a coherent course workspace in order for students to experience the course as a whole.
From a course staff perspective the goal of the pilot is to create a workspace that enables a smooth course management and management of other activites (such as academic advising) connected to the course.
