TechnologyAbstract – Higher education is fast becoming a very competitive market with the plethoraof universities offering online degrees increasing across the country. Our university hasbeen offering distance education in various forms since the 90s. But the courses we couldoffer using distance technology of the 90s were limited due to the nature of our content –computer science and software engineering courses typically have technologyrequirements that could not be supported at that time. Now with high-speed internetconnections and new technologies, we are no longer restricted by our content. Besides theavailability of new technologies, there may also be pedagogical reasons to consider addingonline components into student learning, according to some
