Performance Support Systems in University Teaching-Introduction and Empirical Validation.

This paper examines the concept of performance support systems in university teaching. In four different studies a performance support system with education elements was built to support students while they learn and work on their assignments. Performance support systems originally originated from business and industry but seem to be very valuable in university settings (and therefore for HRD courses) as well. The four different studies are evaluated and results are reported.
