In this effort remotely accessible experimental setups are being developed andimplemented. Tools such as podcasting, synchronous sessions, and threaded discussions are usedto further enhance students’ learning experience of online education without sacrificing thetraditional advantages of online learning which include the flexibility of taking courses anytime,independent of geographical boundaries.This paper summarizes the step-by-step approach that was adopted by SETM for the design,development, implementation, and assessment of our online engineering degree programs.

Based on theresults of this study and the student survey, the course structure proved to be easily navigated bystudents ensuring that time was not wasted looking for required resources and assignments.Providing a defined starting point for students with set expectations using introductory materialand live orientation in addition to a standard syllabus is imperative if faculty members are to

Studentswere also asked if they had taken an exclusive online course and if yes, what was theirexperience with the course and would they recommend it to others.General questions were more opinion based asking what students liked most and least about theOnCourse site as well as if they felt their instructors were using the site effectively. Studentswere then given the chance to submit their comments on how best to improve the site and usageby their instructors.Common

Students were required to select and attend a minimum of four (4)events that would ultimately broaden their cultural horizon.

At one end is pure distance learning in which course material,assessment, and support is all delivered online, with no face to face contact between students andteachers. At the other end of the spectrum is an organizational intranet, which replays printedcourse materials online to support what is basically a conventional face to face course. However,websites that are just database of knowledge, without links to learning, communication, andassessment activities, are not learner centered and cannot be considered true web based learning.The hybrid delivery model is a mixture of static and interactive materials which ensure that theindividual face to face teaching is supplemented by the

Virtual help sessions on eCampus using BlackboardCollaborate Ultra were created to help students learn the material. Based on the results in thetwo-year period, it will be determined how much of the lectures will be flipped. Challenges andlessons learned during the first semester are discussed, these include: What if students do notspend time prepare for the flipped class? What if it takes longer time to cover the materials usingthe flipped classroom approach? Is there an impact on the faculty teaching load or the actual timethey spend in teaching the course

To the extent that PowerPoint-inclined professors are guilty of rigid teaching, the lecturerof the control group is guilty of being led astray by students through excessively discussion,hence failing to complete teaching the syllabus-of-the-day, resulting in students’ failure tocorrectly answer two of the post test questions. This phenomenon can be observed and explainedby hypothesis 1.6. Future Research We will be able to conduct a pre-test post-test evaluation for the student doing IT 442class as a web based course this semester. But without the pre-test post-test result from atraditional lecture course as comparison, the result we obtained from the web based course willbe lacking in significance.

, which became a phenomenon in the twentieth century, havealways employed part-time faculty. When most of these colleges were small, administratorshired secondary school instructors to teach courses such as physics, chemistry, and biologyrather than have a single instructor present all the college courses in the sciences13. Universityprofessors also taught at community colleges on a part-time basis. Part-time faculty also offeredspecialized courses in which current faculty and staff did not have subject matter expertise. In1969 approximately 27% of faculty at community colleges were part-time and that grew to 52%in 198714.The use of part-time faculty shows no signs of slowing. The number of part-time facultyincreased by 133% from 1971 to 1986

Historically, introductory courses in electricalengineering and electrical engineering technology not always have been adequate to satisfy thegoals of providing a foundation for EET majors, while providing some EET knowledge and toolsneeded for other majors to support their field of study3. We continue to struggle with the task ofimparting knowledge to students who often have little interest in the material, and who are veryimpatient. We also are often faced with the decision of covering only the most basic informationon most topics in the syllabus or focusing on communicating a comprehensive understanding ofa subset of topics.
