Keynote Abstract

 

COOPERATIVE FREEDOM AND TRANSPARENCY IN ONLINE EDUCATION

Professor Morten Flate Paulsen, Professor of Online Education at the Norwegian School of Information Technology, Norway

The paper focuses on the opportunities to provide online education that combines individual freedom with meaningful cooperation. Online students often seek individual flexibility and freedom. At the same time, many need or prefer cooperation and social unity. These aims are difficult to combine, so the presentation discusses online education tools and services that support both individual freedom and cooperation. The presentation also elucidates the opportunities and challenges with transparency in online learning environments and provides examples and experiences from NKI Nettstudier in Norway.
