support leads to low satisfaction in both groups.• Clear and specific specifications for the student’s computer hardware, software, and telecommunications must be published prior to course registration so that enrolling students can be ready to participate in the online course.• Students should be trained in how to effectively use the Centra (or Adobe Connect) system. This should happen before the first formal lecture or at the first meeting.• The course syllabus should clearly identify the number of synchronous class teachings, the amount of expected asynchronous learning by students, the expected conduct during the synchronous delivery, and the grading and attendance policies.E-Lectures• Every

participated in the common module delivery. Thefirst experience was gained with the guidance of the British team by using Associate Online forthe module “Researching multimedia in education”.Due to the technical development and free availability of Moodle the consortium decided toexamine the inter-compatibility of these VLEs. With Finnish volunteering the new commonmodule delivery was decided for “Multimedia and e-learning: e-learning methods and tools”.Resources can already be reached on the Moodle VELVITT area of Tampere Polytechnic(moodle.tamk.fi).Now by the “Multimedia and e-learning: e-learning methods and tools” module we introduce thesyllabus of the virtual course and the teaching-learning process in VLE.I.

(www.coe.alfaisal.edu)4.A multi-national collaboration resulted in the design of the engineering academic programsand curricula. The Dean of Alfaisal Engineering, six engineering faculty of theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US and six faculty of the University ofCambridge in the UK, all of whom serve as independent consultants, form the AlfaisalEngineering Program Committee (AEPC). After developing the learning outcomes based onaccreditation standards, the AEPC has been deliberating for a period of over two years on the Page 14.346.6design of curriculum and course contents for each degree. Design input was also receivedfrom several of the
