Abstract
This article describes the experiences drawn from an
experiment in transferring positive experience with a project-organised
on-campus engineering programme to a technology supported distance education
programme. Three years of experience with the Master of Industrial Information
Technology (MII) programme indicates, however, that adjustments are required in
transforming the on-campus model to distance education. The main problem is that
while project work is an excellent regulator of the learning process for
on-campus students, this does not seem to be the case for off-campus students.
Consequently, didactic adjustments have been made based on feedback, in
particular from evaluation questionnaires. This process has been very
constructive in approaching the goal: a successful model for project organized
learning in distance education.
