An ICT Environment for a New Curriculum?

چکیده
In this paper we describe the development of an ICT environment for a newly developed curriculum at the School of Management and Organization, University of Groningen. The curriculum is highly integrative and requires students to carry out sets of complex practical tasks. These tasks all involve the practical application of scientific theories and models, and require practical skills in elaborate case settings. Even though the success of the curriculum is contingent upon support by an appropriate ICT environment, the functional and technical requirements for this environment were ‘forgotten’ in the development of the curriculum. Consequentially, the courses were not well supported and the environment restricted the success of the curriculum. We describe the environment that was subsequently developed and discuss how this environment will (not) support a complex curriculum.
