 The course consists of four assessment components, of which VCL is one and represents 20% from the course assessment. The course evaluation consisted of active seminar participation (10%), a mid-term exam in the 8th week (20%), a course assignment in the 13th week (20%), and a final exam (50%). The VCL method was integrated into the course assignment, accounting for 20% of the total 100 points. The course consists of four assessment components, of which VCL is one and represents 20% from the course assessment.

-## Recommendations+===== Recommendations =====
  
 VCL courses are more effective in group learning and teamwork than the traditional way of teaching and learning and should therefore be integrated into more courses. Virtual collaborative learning combines interactive learning and technology-driven flexibility but requires deliberate attention to participant interaction. VCL settings require detailed and systematic preparation of the learning experience, as well as an explicit definition of the learning objectives. VCL requires the active role of learners and strong guidance of students. VCL courses are more effective in group learning and teamwork than the traditional way of teaching and learning and should therefore be integrated into more courses.
