CASE OF TWO STUDENTS: DISTANCE LEARNING (E-LEARNING)

A Comparison between a traditional and an online environmental educational program. Students own experience about distance learning during a Master level course. Particular feelings about motivation, from students (our) point of view. Especially during our exhange student period.

Meaning of grouping and self-empowerment in e-learning. Social psychologial aspects.

What is the role of belonging to a group and how it affects our motivation. Is it possible to be socialized in the learning group?

Is it a problem if WE are the case? Is it possible to observe our own feelings at the same time?

Distance learning is becoming a more common learning style in the future. How to develop it?

What things we should pay attention to when we are organising distance learning (e-learning)?
