Within the project the students together with their teachers created educational video content on the topic of hair colouring. A second year hairdressing student prepared a model of colour emergence during the hair coloration process, thereby enabling other students to utilize Youtube for learning from their pears. The fact that the coloration process includes some rather complicated chemical and physical processes, the students are encouraged to create a model themselves, while utilizing a concrete example to explain it. Since there is currently very little existing material on the theme available on the web, the aforementioned student connected with her peers form the media technician programme to create an educational video and distribute it via Youtube. This is a nice practical demonstration of informal collaborative learning and inter-disciplinary teamwork for students, as well as for teachers, who now have the ability to see how students think and learn. We have concluded that the aforementioned video greatly enhanced the learning experience, while at the same time improving the knowledge of her second year peers.
