Abstract

The transition between BSc and MSc study programs can be challenging – especially if a student changes from one discipline to another, for example, when an engineering bachelor changes to the master’s program in Techno-Anthropology (T-A) at Aalborg University, which is a technical master’s program with anthropological and ethical content. To facilitate such transitions, Aalborg University allocated funding to develop and offer the e-course “Introduction to Techno-Anthropology”. The e-course is a set of seven modules introducing the central concepts and methods of T-A to applicants without a bachelor degree in T-A. This paper sketches the design and provides a technology assessment of this e-course to determine how it could be improved and applied to ease the transition between different study-programmes that face similar challenges.
