Opinnäytteiden tiivistelmätietokanta

Jos palautat opinnäytetyösi paperisena, syötä sen tiivistelmä opinnäytetöiden tiivistelmätietokantaan. Tarvitset tiivistelmälomakkeen täyttämiseen tunnukset, jotka saat kirjastosta. Elektronisen opinnäytetyön tiivistelmää ei tarvitse syöttää tiivistelmätietokantaan. Elektroniset opinnäytteet löytyvät Theseuksesta (2009-) ja Doriasta (vuoteen 2009 saakka). Vuodesta 2009 ICT:n työt löytyvät Tekniikan ja liikenteen koulutusalan alta.

Abstract:
Purpose and objective of this development project was to investigate chances and challenges of e-Learning in foreign language training, with focus on German language at the Jyväskylä Polytechnic. The development project dealt with planning and conducting an online course for German for beginners. The e-Learning environment R5 was used as a technical platform which can be also regarded as a Learning Management System (LMS). There is an increasing demand for e-Learning contents. Students would like to conduct part of their studies through the network. That increases flexibility in terms of time resources and periods of classroom instruction. The project had the following objectives: planning a pilot course in the autumn of 2003, defining target group and objectives, developing a set of working tools and habits, content production, evaluating the technical prerequisites, integrating multimedia contents, tutoring through the net, mapping and evaluating students experiences. In the theoretical background basic issues of behaviorismn and constructivismn were discussed in terms of a systematic approach towards e-Learning. The results of the project were the following: very significant was the very low drop-out rate, 18 of 20 students conducted the whole course and received also their credits. According to the students the structure of the course was good and fitting the needs. The deadlines as an overall guiding principle were considered as very useful. In terms of interactivity there is much to develop and to learn, both on synchronous and on asynchronous level. The course was in general a self-learning programme for the students with limited opportunities to interact with each other.
