Learning material co-creation infrastructure in Social Network-based Education: An implementation model

Abstract Learning material co-creation infrastructure implies adoption of new features such as Education 3.0 paradigm, social network-based organization of the education process, procedures/protocols for sharing elements of teaching material, advanced information and communication technologies, collaborative management involving both professors and students, and innovative system thinking based on complexity thinking. This paper describes the infrastructure and the implementation model within two curricular units within the fourth year of the Integrated Master on Industrial Engineering and Management course at University of Minho. Learning material co-creation implementation model provides to teachers a framework for redefinition of the actual practices in education for Design, and continuous alignment with student’s needs and requests for continuous updating of the actual learning material.
