DIVERSIFYING HIGHER EDUCATION: INNOVATIVE TOOLS TO FACILITATE DIFFERENT WAYS OF LEARNING

Pasi Virtanen, Jussi Myllärniemi, Heini Wallander, Tampere University of Technology, Finland

The objective is to demonstrate how higher education can benefit from using unconventional methods such as Web 2.0 technologies. We will illuminate how the various types of learners (auditory, visual, kinetic) benefit from using new methods and tools for learning (traditional teaching settings). We assess the strengths and weaknesses of these alternative teaching methods and tools. The paper is based on a case study and a pilot project where different methods and tools were used and tested in a teaching setting in a university.
