Synergies through blending "on site" learning with e-learning internationally - evaluating the global seminar on environment and sustainable food systems
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research
The Global Seminar is an international course, which builds on the premise that knowledge construction occurs when students explore real global issues and delemmas, take positions in relation to these, discuss those positions in an argumentative format and finally, reflect on and re-evaluate their positions. The most challenging E-learning component was the international student groups (ISG), where small groups, comprising of students from the participating countries and universities, collaborate entirely online on carrying out a problem-based project.
