This educational design study investigates a Master’s Degree programme for engineers, in which a third of the programme is undertaken as online studies. The aim is to improve the efficiency and the learning and teaching experiences of both students and lecturers by, for instance, reducing technical constraints and manifesting a new learning culture grounded in the affordances of digital tools. The results from the first phase of the study show five dimensions of usability brought forth by participant interviews: technological, pedagogical, social, metareflective, and collegial.

Keywords: educational design research, distance education, higher education, ICT
