About the thesis

The dissertation, "Students' orchestration of group work and the role of technology", explores student self-organised hybrid collaborative practices in a problem-oriented and project-based learning environment at Aalborg University. It reports a multi-sited ethnographic study of student orchestration of collaboration and the role of technology in their collaboration. The study shows a high degree of diversity in how the students manage their project work and collaboration, including meeting place, meeting frequency, planning, division of labour, work constellations, choice of technology, and how they use technology to support their project collaboration. The dissertation provides detailed empirical descriptions and development of concept and models of students' practices. Read more and download thesis.
