Paper Abstract:
|
Traditional learning versus e-learning is often subject to debate within the tertiary environment. As a result blended learning models or hybrid systems are becoming more common. The authors have, for the last few years, been developing a hybrid system within the teaching environment for Web-design and multimedia authoring. At this point, the outcome is a hybrid system, known as HyWeb, and short for Hybrid-Web, which has been partially reported in various papers throughout its development (Jo, et al., 2000; Jones, et al., 2001; Jones, et al, 2000). Its development has evolved from combining online delivery with traditional teaching to create an appropriate and effective environment. This experience has provided a better understanding of student learning needs and signified the need for a holistic approach to course design and delivery. The authors believe this is not only practical but also essential. This hybrid system, also referred to as blended e-leaning, is viewed as a dynamic and evolving entity. Various features and improved delivery methods have been added to enhance the quality and efficiency of the system, as they were required. This paper will describe the experience of course development and discuss the relevance and benefits of a blended e-learning solution for course delivery. |
