| Description | Problem oriented project pedagogy is an alternative educational approach which often provides a strong natural motivation for the students' work. On the other hand, it requires certain coordination and cooperation skills in communication inside the project group as well as between the group and its supervisor. We study the use of content and coordination management tools for the support of group work. An experiment using a combination of Google Groups/Docs/Calendar services was carried out at Aalborg University in Denmark and we report here on the outcomes of the trial. |
