week,as peer-learning and self-driven learning
activities are the foundation for deep learning.
Students receive regularly ?triggers? (complex
questions), guidance and resourceful lectures
as a pedagogical framework. The ?triggers? are
real-life connected and Nordic in their design and
the resourceful lectures are a blend between
theoretical discussions and Nordic guest lectures.
During all learning activities in this master
program there will be a continuous focus on
social, teaching and cognitive presence.

among learners is essential for developing common
purposes and inquiry in each learning unit. The
purpose of highlighting the learning community
in this master education rely on the assumption
that in order to create the conditions for inquire
and qualitative interactions (reflective and
threaded discussions) there needs to be a
collaboratively starting point.
