ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on knowledge transfer and learning based on experiences from developing and carrying through master courses in Industrial Information Technology and civil engineering at Aalborg University and 25 years of teaching experiences within the field. Experiences are reported from use of distributed physical and virtual learning spaces, improved learning styles and learning/teaching methods, properties and functionality of digital learning material, improved and adapted pedagogic, tutoring and teacher-student interaction, distributed project collaboration methodology, and industry collaboration. The learning environment should as far as possible support different learning styles involving concrete experiences, reflective observations, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation also taking into account that students have different preferences on the way information is accessed. Information and Communication Technology tools and learning material knowledge representations and properties must be explained to the learners.
