This chapter focuses on aspects that contribute to successful online learning in the Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Studies (STEPS) bridging program at CQUniversity in Australia. The program, which aims to instill the aptitudes, values and attitudes for effective university study in interrupted adult learners, has been running for 22 years and has had an online component for off campus students since 2006. Among the challenges involved in developing the online program have been promoting the value of critical reflection, recognizing the importance of learning as process to complement a focus on learning as product, and configuring an effective constructive alignment between factors shaping the learning and teaching process. The role of teachers’ reflective practices and students’ use of an online discussion forum in meeting these challenges is explored.

This chapter provides examples of pedagogical strategies to business schools and business faculty to promote and develop specific competences in business education graduates. In so doing, the chapter recommends understanding the adult learning theory of Knowles, Holton, and Swanson (2011), which emphasizes the role of teachers and adult needs for learning. Teachers should facilitate the learning process and system and must engage students in a process of mutual inquiry. Even though there are different pedagogical strategies available for academic institutions to pursue in order to develop competences of different levels and types in students, it is concluded that in the learning process the learner must take center stage. Academic institutions and faculty should be creative in designing learning and teaching activities as well as diverse and implementable pedagogical strategies.

In the teaching process, the relationship between students and university teachers is an important determinant of the quality of learning and teaching process. The concepts of didactic theories provide a different approach to the didactic - methodical determination of teaching and the position of students in the scientific - teaching process in relation to the concept of the old school and the traditional pedagogical paradigm of teaching. The student is observed and experienced as a collaborator, learning partner, authoritarian teaching styles are abandoned, democratically oriented communication and interaction are developed, with mutual respect, tolerance and respect for all participants in the teaching process. The analytical - descriptive method, comparative analysis and content analysis were used. The relationship and position of students and university teachers in the teaching process through the prism of didactic theories advocated by Christina Möller and Felix von Cube are presented. The issues of selectivity, cooperation and competitiveness as a starting point for defining the position of students in teaching, purposes and goals of learning, based on the modern pedagogical paradigmatic orientation of the “learning society”, and the analysis of the position and position of students and university teachers through the prism of cyber-information didactic theories and curriculum theories.

The study focused on the rationale use of technology that is widely spreading around the world. Educational technology is significant in the learning and teaching process. The significance of the developed game-based courseware was to provide instruction and self-drill-and-practice to understand the computer system servicing terms and concepts. This interactive courseware is an additional innovation that will significantly help in the learning and teaching process. The conceptual framework of the study used to organize and varied literature which establishes the scope of education and principles of game-based courseware. The researcher utilized a questionnaire as the primary research instrument. The weighted mean and the standard deviation are used to determine the acceptability of the courseware. To adopt the opportunities offered by developed game-based courseware, it is essential to focus on lessons learned in Computer System Servicing. Features such as peer to peer learning and camaraderie between learners and educators have been found significant in traditional lessons and converted to educational games, as modern technologies move into the informative mainstream. Additional research into the effects and development of game-based approach courseware to classify the role of teachers as facilitators in the game-based approach of learning can establish ways to develop and create educational practices that better engage and motivate students.
