1. Managing the project in collaboration with the student group and the commissioner.
2. Studying and developing a digitalized tourism-related context that is applied in practice and validated with the knowledge base, such as reading material and theories.

There are several phases to proceed in the project. The phases of the learning project are divided into weekly actions to read, define, observe, collect, analyze, and conclude the findings. Here, the group discusses and presents their project phase each week which is commented on and coached by the teachers.

The learning project is executed in a group (team) of 4-5 students in each group. The structure of the learning project values the group’s own decision in executing the project. However, the weekly program steers the project actions. Depending on the student’s individual motivation for the topic and the hours to use for the project each week are discussed in the group in the beginning. Here, the group defines their responsibilities (role, task) to each member for the project. The learning project group appoints a project manager who is the primary contact person for the teachers and for the commissioner. Each student collaborates with the project group actively and shows responsibility for their role.
