RCN organisation
• President Gustav Amberg (skolchef)• Director Johan Thorbiörnson
• Steering committee (academic representatives)• Staff at RCN
• Work related to scientific content is done on institutions and units
• Under consultants (can be mentors, technical infrastructure and development, marketing and publishing, implementation and production of multimedia content, running operations, maintenance of IT-systems, etc )
• Projects on institutions (MATH.SE is such a project)

The way through the system for the student• Application• Computer account• Log in• Study, tutoring,
supervision, feedback, remainders
• Examination
RES URS 4KTH - RESURSCENTRUM FÖR NÄTUNDERVISNING [RCN] www.kth.se/rcn
The student log in through a central database• Will then be linked to the specific learning platform and
the net based tools within which activities will be done. • Instead of a solution based on one single LMS we use
different modules and specific net based tools, linked together in one framework.
• Different technical solutions, for example a Wiki for publishing course material, systems for automatically corrected tests, systems for collaboration and groupwork, etc.

Course material in a wiki solution
• Teachers can develop material in working teams
• Version management• Mathematical signs and other
special signs can be displayed directly in the web browser (LaTeX)
• In discussion forums the students easily can write mathematics by clicking on buttons for special signs or more advanced by using LaTeX.

The examination process is partitioned into levels and performed continuously during the course:
• Basic facts - basic tests after each section
• Problem solving - final tests after each section
• Analysis and synthesis, ability to discuss and evalute – wiki for individual assignment and group assignment
• Final evaluation and feedback of cohesive knowledge, feedback and grading – written or oral exam
The student will be coached by tutors online, who follows and tracks the work by the students with the net based examination, continuously during the course.

How do we do the examination?

How do we do the examination?
- I have teached Fido how to whistle.- I can not hear him whistling.- I said that I have teached him how to whistle, not that he
have learnt how to whistle.

Netbased examination- an integrated part of the students learning process
RES URS 15KTH - RESURSCENTRUM FÖR NÄTUNDERVISNING [RCN] www.kth.se/rcn
A final exam (written or oral). In principle a repetition of what have been done through the Internet. Here we evaluate how well the student fulfilled the learning outcomes. Grading. Identity control.
