Studieaktivitetsmodellen redesignet

Abstract

This article offers a redesign of the Danish university colleges’ common model for relevant study activities, the so-called Study Activity Model (SAM). In recent years, this model has been criticized from various perspectives, and especially the quadrants, which do not include teacher participation, cause problems and continue to receive low priority from the students. To solve a number of these challenges, all quadrants in the redesigned study activity model are designed by teachers, and the concept of teacher participation is rethought and revitalized
through digital remediation. The redesigned model thus challenges the concept of participation, as the teacher is seen as participating with students both through physical/synchronous presence but also asynchronously and mediated presence in a study activity e.g. in a video. In the article, the redesigned model is exemplified by the inclusion of digital learning environment such as MOOCs, since MOOC environments in particular are places where teaching formats with a physically absent teacher can be experimented with.
