Teaching transparent, in the words of Prof Morten Paulsen (see Cooperative Online Education in Seminar.net – International journal of media, technology and lifelong learning Vol N – Issue N – 20NN) has the following advantages:
– Preventive quality improvement, because we are prone to provide better quality when we know that others have access to the information and contributions we provide
– Constructive quality improvement, because we may learn from others when we have access to their data and contributions
– Reactive quality improvement, because we may receive feedback from others when they have access to our data and contributions
