Abstract

Purpose - to create a model for university bachelor studies based on the elements of a team-based learning strategy for the e-learning environment.

Research methodology. The research is based on the Connectivism theory.

Research methods - The studies include the analysis of literature and it offers an ontology-based guidance system.

Findings – A model based on elements of a team-based learning strategy has been developed to support team learning skills. The advantage of the model is that it is not linked to any of the world-wide e-learning environments, but can easily be connected to existing ones. Ontology-based guidance system, suggesting learning components (learning activities, environments, tools, programs and etc.).

Research limitation – this research its only first step - to create a model for university bachelor studies based on the elements of a team-based learning strategy for the e-learning environment , next steps should be to validate the model, then to construct the prototype and then to validate prototype.

Value - despite the growing popularity of distance education, it is necessary to create the best learning management system adapted for Team-based learning strategy.

Keywords – team-based learning, modelling, e-learning, virtual learning.

Research type – research paper.
