Description
Summary:Today there is an increasing demand on educational institutions to "produce" more people that have a higher education. Interestingly enough, the resources for educational institutions in Sweden are at the same time diminishing, forcing them to look into new more cost effective ways of teaching. By using computer technology many hope to find a more efficient way of teaching without sacrificing the quality. We have concerned ourselves with one aspect of this technology - what tools are needed to produce online course material and how should they work. As a first step to begin to understand these requirements we have made a number of informal interviews with teachers at Luleå University of Technology. The interview indicates that an authoring tool for teachers should be able to handle different versions of documents, searching, reuse and patterns. We are now in the initial phase of a project that aims to explore this functionality further. Godkänd; 1998; 20080426 (ysko)
