Abstract:

​At the Center for Outstanding IT Education, Excited, we work to ensure that Norway is at the forefront of the development of innovative IT education, and we want to make IT an attractive study choice for all young people. We will achieve this by increasing student engagement by working to develop the learning activities as well as the study programs. We will work with increased motivation through collaboration with the business community to build high relevant job competence among our students. The center aims to create space for reflection between staff and students. Finally, we want to use the opportunity space located in Universities with several campuses and increase knowledge about cross-campus collaboration.​
