Abstract
Project organized problem based learning is a successful concept for
on-campus engineering education at Aalborg University. Recently this "Aalborg
concept" has been used in networked distance education as well. This paper
describes the experiences from two years of Internet-mediated project work in a
new Master of Information Technology education. The main conclusions are, that
the project work is a strong learning motivator, enhancing peer collaboration,
for off-campus students as well. However, the concept cannot be directly
transferred to off-campus learning. In this paper, the main problems experienced
with group organized project work in distance education are described, and some
possible solutions are listed.
