Effective study environment online

How to design an online course in practice? In this short video, we’ll outline four principles that guide you in setting up a working study environment that let students focus on the important stuff: Their learning.

The principles are about 1/stable technology, 2/overview and structure, 3/social context and 4/progress and challenge. It is important to create a work environment for the student that elicits the student’s motivation to make an effort!

The theoretical background to the principles is explained in the film Motivation and studies [only in Swedish].

In a subsequent film, we present a Canvas template course developed by UPE and based on the four principles above [The video is only avaliable in Swedish, but the template is avaliable in both Swedish and English versions].
