Paper Abstract:
|
This study addresses the problem of increased class sizes in Information Technology courses at universities. Our project
aims to examine various strategies for improving effectiveness of teaching IT to large student numbers, focusing on the
online teaching method. The paper discusses case studies of online teaching implementations at our university, and
universities around the world. The cases are taken both from literature and personal interviews. The use of case studies is
aligned with the approach taken in our project that is based on the belief that we should not 'reinvent the wheel', but rather
learn from past experience. Specific strategies and results of online teaching implementations at various universities are
reported. |
