Consideration from a PBL perspective designing a virtual workshop

This paper is taking departure in considerations of the pedagogical and learning oriented approaches made in the process from design to evaluation of the virtual workshop; as part of the MVU tutor course. Our focus in this paper is on elaborating and discussing the pedagogical considerations of the virtual workshop design within the frame of PBL. The intention with the virtual workshop was to give participants experiences within different media and use of these in pedagogical settings. Focusing on both synchronous and asynchronous communication tools combined with different types of embedded assignments. The design has tight and clear standards concentrated within only one week, as to give the participants opportunity to generate experiences in a considerable focus of collaboration, group work and different media supporting the assignments. In this paper we will elaborate the considerations, expectations and feedback from this virtual event.
