    Abstract

    The chapter discusses how student engagement can be facilitated through educational designs that make conscious use of various online communication technologies. The chapter discusses the involvement of students as co-designers of how courses and learning environments unfold, and deals with the development of students’ information literacy and the application of new technological possibilities inspired by problem- and project-based learning.
