The e-learning concept applied makes use of both on-line conference facilities and inter-active multimedia-based learning objects to facilitate individual learning. All teaching is effected over the Internet with standard browsers like Netscape and Microsoft Explorer (the latest versions work best). No plug-ins or downloads are necessary. Obviously, some degree of self-study is required. The student is typically asked to obtain information through books and the Internet before discussing on-line with fellow students.
The timetable provided will indicate when and in which order the student is expected to go through the material. It is possible to go through the material more slowly or quickly than re-commended, but the student will be asked to keep pace with fellow students to achieve maximum benefit from on-line discussions.
The current Learning Management System (LMS) is called Blackboard, which is one of the most advanced e-learning systems, but also one of the easiest to use. This platform has been chosen because it supports our unique e-learning concept very well.
Communication is mostly done electronically. Examinations take place in either London or Kolding.
Note that e-learning is very different from traditional class room teaching. Emphasis is on learning, rather than teaching, which means that much responsibility lies with the student. The concept requires some degree of self-discipline, but the lecturer will of course offer all the support and guidance necessary.
Study groups may be set up on-line to facilitate discussions and learning, and for mutual inspiration and motivation.
Student support is available when required. Administrative support is provided by the course administration at the IBA in Kolding, academic support is offered by the lecturers through the conferences and e-mail, and IT-support is offered from the IT support centre at the IBA during working hours.
