An Intelligent Online Environment for Active Music Learning
This article analyses the possibilities to improve the performance of the students of a Music High School, creating an online community thorough the online platform OPEN SoundS: a virtual studio where students and teachers can create collaborative musical projects. This project has focused on improving the effectiveness and quality of the learning process. A number of factors contributed to students’ positive perception: a desire to be involved and engaged in a music project, a view that the traditional educational style is not best and the possibility to be a member of a transnational community. This methodology has been tested on a selected group of students of different ages and academic performance.
