Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we present the design, development and evaluation of the InterLearning web-based educational software.
InterLearning was developed at Intercollege, a College of Higher Education in Cyprus, to meet the need of a
supplementary on-line teaching and learning tool. The software allows faculty members to develop and post on the WEB,
educational material that is used as a supplement to the printed material available. It also supports lecturer-student
communication. It is important however to note, that InterLearning is not a complete Distance Learning Educational
software, but a supporting tool. In this paper we present a survey conducted amongst the faculty members of Intercollege
to identify the needs of a web-based educational software. Based on this survey, we designed the functionality of the
system. We also explain this functionality and the system architecture and report on the usability, efficiency and
effectiveness of the system from the point of view of the students and the faculty members. The students and the faculty
members started using the system halfway during the semester and could therefore compare their teaching/learning
experience and environment before and after the introduction of the system. |
