Paper Abstract:
|
The fundamental hypothesis underlying this research is that web-based services have the potential to
make didactic styles leading to deep learning processes, such as Person-Centered Learning, more
effective and hence more feasible. Recently, we complemented the Person-Centered Approach by
elements of e-Learning, claiming to strengthen the advantages of both constituents. In this paper we
characterize the resulting style we refer to as Person-Centered e-Learning (PCeL), present a case study
on a group project in Web Engineering, and give a perspective on further research. In this context, we
found that the situated usage of a learning platform is essential for determining its actual contribution.
Furthermore, students reactions indicate that PCeL has the potential to increase students motivation,
interest, and active engagement. |
