Experiences with online teaching at 10 higher education institutions in the spring of 2020

The purpose of the project is to gather broad and solid knowledge on a number of key issues which will shed light on experiences from the period of online teaching, and provide a basis for the further development of institutions and educations. The study is organized and carried out in a collaboration between 10 institutions, across types of institutions (vocational colleges and universities), and with the involvement of a large number of subject areas and educations.

The key research questions are as follows:
1) What variation of digitally supported didactic practices has established itself across institution types and subject areas?
2) How do students experience different practices, and what significance do they have for different students, e.g. in relation to experienced learning outcomes, learning strategies and mastery experiences?
3) How do teachers experience different practices, and what significance do they have for different teachers, for their relationship with the students, as well as their experience of academic and professional satisfaction?
4) How do the digitally supported practices effect respectively A) The collaboration between students and B) The collaboration between teachers and students?

The results of the project make an important contribution to the further development of educational institutions and educations, both in relation to online and blended educational designs and in relation to the use of digital elements and tools in campus-based attendance teaching.
