The IT in Society course is based on an Open Ended Group project framework that has been developed in an action research manner. It is a course where students participate in a real project, where they have the possibility to take part of an unusual learning experience where they address a complex and multifaceted real problem. A learning theory has evolved in parallel to the process of developing the course, and this paper will illustrate how the instructional procedure constructive controversy has influenced a recent development of the course and the underlying learning theory. The focus has been on the issue of creating "true collaboration" through introducing the action speed dating.
