E-coaching in teaching science

Abstract

“E-coach: Towards e-coaching – the first step to build trust with a digital coach” is an Erasmus+ project developed in international partnership between Bialystok University of Technology in Poland, Leipzig University in Germany, The Technical University of Crete in Greece and Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland. The goal of the project has been to develop a methodology for online coaching pedagogy in a university setting and a handbook and course material for both university teachers and students to help them move towards e-coaching. In this paper we present descriptions of our pilot distance classes with students, focused on selected material from linear algebra, calculus and programming. We discuss methods, tools and summarise impressions from students and teachers.
