Software Application for Managing Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Projects as a Part of Educational Process

Summary/Abstract: To be able to apply all four types ofknowledge conversion (socialization, internalization,externisation and combination) during formal education,for the purpose of developing appropriate attitudes,knowledge, skills, intuition, and creativity , it isnecessary to have the work of students on real projects.Real projects, however, are never limited by boundariesof a single case. They often cover body of knowledge invarious subjects, from different years of study, and evenstudy programs. The real work is also very team, whereeach team member perform tasks in their domain ofexpertise. This implies that the project must participatewith students of different subjects, majors, years ofstudy and even different schools. To facilitate thecoordination of such projects, special software wasdeveloped –as Web applications. Application itselfprovides a classic project management, andcollaboration and cooperation of a number of teachersand students that can be spatially distant, as well as basiceducational components-monitoring studentachievement, their evaluation and self-evaluation,assistance in teamwork, and learning through trial anderror method, analysis of the literature, brain-stormingand team participation. In this paper, the possibilities ofapplication are presented, a description of its use isgiven, and the importance and usefulness of the usage ofsuch applications is discussed.
