Project Description

this two-year project used case studies to explore information and Communications technology (iCt) and eLearning practices across different tertiary disciplines and with students from diverse backgrounds, instructional levels, and learning experiences. ongoing, team-based critical discussion and sharing of ideas about the role that iCt and eLearning plays within tertiary teaching enhanced professional knowledge building for lecturers. Creative use of iCt also led to increased opportunities for students to bridge from the conceptual world of the tertiary classroom to real-life experiences in their particular subject areas.
