Knowledge and skills for studying on-line

On-line studying is a cooperative, individually adaptable study method enabled by information and communication technology. As regards time and place, on-line studies can be pursued in a flexible manner.
When pursuing on-line studies, a student needs to be active and to assume responsibility for his or her learning process. The virtual learning platform comprises the theoretical fundamentals needed for on-line studying, exercises, tests, a discussion forum and possibly also an examination. In other words, the platform includes almost all the material a student needs during an on-line course.
