Problem-oriented project work enhances Health Informatics distance education through cooperation and dialogue. While computer conferencing is essential, it requires additional support for effective student project work in this blended learning approach.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Distance Education
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Traditional distance education relies on one-way communication and self-study.
  • Problem-oriented project work emphasizes cooperation and dialogue.
  • Aalborg University's Health Informatics program utilizes distance learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of problem-oriented project work in a distance learning Health Informatics program.
  • To present the principles of problem-oriented project study.
  • To discuss the practical application of these principles in distance education.

Main Methods:

  • Describing the program's student demographics, structure, aims, and activities.
  • Introducing the problem-oriented project study form and its core principles.
