Dimensions of Problem Based Learning--Dialogue and Online Collaboration in Projects
Andreasen,, Lars Birch; Nielsen, Jørgen Lerche
Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, v1 n1 p210-229 2013
The article contributes to the discussions on problem based learning and project work, building on and reflecting the experiences of the authors. Four perspectives are emphasized as central to a contemporary approach to problem- and project-based learning: the exploration of problems, projects as a method, online collaboration, and the dialogic aspect of students' project work. A specific focus is on how the problem- and project-based learning approach developed in Denmark historically and theoretically, and how it unfolds today discussed through a case of the Danish Master programme in ICT and Learning (MIL), focusing on changes in the roles of teachers as supervisors, and the involvement of students in course and project activities.
