  • What I like about the story's concept is that the questions Danish students are being asked require them to use knowledge rather than regurgitate knowledge.
  • it's more important to note that the emphasis of the exams is placed on application of knowledge rather than recitation of knowledge.

    • It concerns me when using online technologies (including WebCT) in teaching that a significant amount of time is taken from study of the course content to train the students how to use the technologies. When students are struggling to use the technology, they are not engaging with the course material itself. And yet the technologies have the potential for greatly enriching their learning process.
