Decentralized University Studies in Economics and English/The DUNE Project--An Evaluative Project Under Sub-Project III, an Alternative Form of Distribution for Higher Education. Educational Development 1976:3.
Dahllof, Urban
A teaching system practiced in the Swedish DUNE project, Subproject III, offered an alternative to the usual concentrated form of higher education. An attempt was made to solve the problem of educational distribution by cooperative efforts among municipal authorities, adult education associations, and two postsecondary establishments, the university of Lund and Linkoping College. The subjects selected were English and economics, and teaching was conducted at half speed. The target group included employed persons, the elderly, and undereducated persons. Lessons are conducted in discussion groups and included weekend courses, self-instructional materials, video tapes, and language laboratories. This report reviews briefly the participants' backgrounds, the role of the teacher, student motivation and plans, student assessment of teachers, and assessment of the intensive courses. The results indicate that this is a realistic, alternative delivery system. (LBH)
