E - Learning module for Fundamentals of Software Engineering (Based on BIT module IT2402)

Abstract

Web-based learning and teaching is a rapidly growing area in education. Traditional forms of distance education are being transformed as the Internet becomes the new medium for communication. Web-based course delivery can offer a vibrant learning environment created through different teaching strategies, activities, and technologies. This paper briefly outlines some of the literature relevant to this new educational milieu providing insight into constructivist epistemology, situated learning, cognitive apprenticeship, and instructional design of web-based learning. The aim of the project is to develop an interactive system in order to easily learn the subject of Fundamentals of Software Engineering. The system is going to be uploaded in a Learning Management System (LMS) to interact with information presented in the LMS. I committed to develop SCORM compliant LMS content with animations, graphics, etc.

Main and Detail Course map for the project was drafted. The content is drafted as Power Point slide and then using a SCORM compliant tool this content is being transferred as SCORM complaint content. Main Course map for the project was drafted. The content is created as Power Point slide and then using a SCORM compliant tool this content is being transferred as SCORM complaint content. In this connection the sophisticated tool which SCROM is complaint considered to produce courseware. The ToolBook tool is capable of creating documents of content using text, images, animation and interaction, audio, video, equations and symbols and Microsoft Office documents. Therefore it is easy and faster to create courseware. It is evaluation version, so freely available via internet The aim of the project met successfully completion. This product is going to be very much helpful for the students in e-Learning Fundamentals of Software Engineering module efficiently It was totally different a good and experience. Especially this is an entirely new field to me at same time learning about e-Learning was fantastic experience. Any e-Learning materials can confidence to develop any kind of audience. It was great experience to learning and applying all theories in developing e-Learning content like instructional design, SCORM. All the tools used in this development were entirely new. Self study to improve knowledge is important here.
