Group Organized Project Work in Distance Education
Project organized problem based learning is a successful concept for on-campus education at Aalborg University. Recently this “Aalborg concept” has been used in networked distance education as well. This paper describes the experiences from two years of Internetmediated project work in a new Master of Information Technology education. The main conclusions are, that the project work is a strong learning motivator, enhancing peer collaboration, for off-campus students as well. However, the concept cannot be directly transferred to off-campus learning. The main reasons are that the students must communicate electronically, and that they are under a fierce time strain, studying part time and typically with a full time job and a family. In this paper, the main problems experienced with group organized project work in distance education are described, and some possible solutions are listed.
Firstly considering the problems in e-government authorization model, we analyze the features of government business process. Then an inner-organization authorization model based on organization is proposed. Then based on the proposed model, an authorization model for inter-organizational business process collaboration is designed. This model can resolve the problem of separating organization and authorization, reduce the difficulty of authorization management to make it more suitable for government management mechanism, and be of great application values.
