The goal of this project is to investigate how modern IT, in particular hypermedia and electronic communication, can be used to support active learning and self studies. The project is managed by DSV, the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at the Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University, and is supported by the Council for the Renewal of Undergraduate Education.

The project develops interactive, hypertext based study material for courses in information systems design and databases. The project also develops a methodology for integrating this type of study material in the coursework.
