Abstract

This case illustrates the process of developing a learning module to support BA students in their use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools in their learning. At the university where this case occurred, the skill level of ICT use among students in a learning context was very heterogeneous. The E-learning Competency Centre, or ECC, which was in charge of techno-pedagogical development at the institution, created a hybrid learning module that offered students learning materials and activities with both face-to-face workshops and online tutorials for autonomous learning. The students were able to choose subjects they wanted to learn "à la carte" by taking tutorials on their own and/or by participating in face-to-face workshops. The module described in this case is currently under construction. The design phase of this project is the focus of this case study.

Summary

Institutional context Case participants

- Omar is a techno-pedagogical adviser (instructional designer or ID) in the E-learning Competency Centre at Mid-Range University (MRU). 1. A national project, Personal Learning Environment (PLE), was launched to deal with student ICT issues that impacted several universities These universities were organised as a network through their e-learning competence centres, making the development and implementation phases of this case possible. The case involved IDs who work in the E-learning Competence Centre (ECC) of Mid- Range University (MRU). This centre was created about 15 years earlier and included five staff members with computer science and educational science skills. It offered support for regular and adjunct faculty members who wanted to use ICT in their courses. There are more and more inter-university projects for services and tools linked with e-learning.”
