Abstract
In order to support the mission of the University of Pretoria (South Africa) the tuition methods in a number of modules in the Department of Information Science have been transformed from traditional classroom presentations to a learner-centered approach supported by web-based material in a flexi-learning environment. A comparison is drawn between the honors (fourth year) program in library and information science (LIS) and the undergraduate program in multimedia with regard to program outline, student profile, teaching methods, the support of the Academic Information Service (AIS) and information technology (IT), as well as the attitude of the students toward the changes. Qualitative methods of data collection were used. Problems and successes are highlighted. In conclusion, a number of recommendations are made.
