Paper Abstract:
|
The use of Case studies in education is a very effective teaching method, as students engagement in the solution of
authentic, and thus interesting, problems provides them motive for learning. In the recent years, the ongoing use of elearning
technologies in education transformed the way teaching is being conducted. Although a series of studies found in
bibliography compare the effectiveness of in class versus on line teaching, these studies do not focus in the comparison of
a specific teaching method such as the case method. In this work we present an empirical study aiming to compare the
implementation of the case study method in class and on line using a course management system in the framework of the
subject matter of Didactics of Informatics. The results of this study will help us identify the most effective way of
conducting case study activities exploiting the advantages of in class learning enhanced by the possibilities offered by elearning
technologies. |
