Planned approach and implementation
The four sub-projects have had sub-project managers who led the work with a great commitment from other partners and an overall project management. We started with an analysis of existing course offerings at the universities, then needs and complementary competencies were identified. Course 1 one of ORU´s courses was offered together with LNU on site in Växjö. Course 2 was built together, three modules from different universities from system to component, both ways of collaborating were successful. Course 3 dealt with three different perspectives of AI given under one umbrella.
