Abstract
The Department of Research Methodology at the University of Lapland is developing a model for the planning, implementation and evaluation of education in the field of Information Technology (IT). The model draws on the concept of client-centeredness, and makes use of regional cooperation in order to carry out the universities’ third task. The principal method used in the research is a constructive approach. The model is being developed, and its usability evaluated, in the context of two extensive degree programs at the Department of Research Methodology.
