A web based course management tool, 'Net-Class', developed in Middle East Technical University is presented. The tool features such as web browsing abilities, instructor and student tools, synchronous and asynchronous sharing is discussed. It is compared to the commercially available tools in terms of these features. The evaluation shows Net-Class is at least as effective as the others in teaching and learning via web.

In recent years, institutions of higher education have been migrating to the Web for instruction in record numbers. While Web-based course management systems (CMS) offer many exciting possibilities for instructors and students, their efficacy in terms of teaching and learning has not been thoroughly evaluated. This chapter explores the inherent capabilities and limitations of five models of conceptual frameworks for the design of CMS. The chapter concludes with a discussion of CMS evaluation instruments, advice for instructors transitioning to CMS, and a call for more research in this growing area.

Fuelled by the increasing connectivity afforded by the Internet and the flexibility offered by Web technologies, the use of technology in education has become increasingly common. However, despite claims that the Web will revolutionise education, many attempts at Web-based education simply reinforce current ‘poor’ teaching practices or present more of the same disguised in updated packaging. We argue that this occurs because of differing pedagogical assumptions and a limited understanding of how flexible learning differs from traditional approaches. In particular, we argue that flexible learning demands an increased focus on constructivism and the sociological aspects of teaching and learning. This chapter presents two frameworks that situate our approach to flexible learning with respect to more traditional offerings and discusses the implications for educational technology design.

The Way

Course management systems, like any other technology, have an inherent purpose implied in their design, and therefore a built-in pedagogy. Although these pedagogies are based on instructivist principles, today's large CMSs have many features suitable for applying more constructivist pedagogies. Yet few faculty use these features, or even adapt their CMS very much, despite the several customization options. This is because most college instructors do not work or play much on the Web, and thus utilize Web-based systems primarily at their basic level. The defaults of the CMS therefore tend to determine the way Web-novice faculty teach online, encouraging methods based on posting of material and engendering usage that focuses on administrative tasks. A solution to this underutilization of the CMS is to focus on pedagogy for Web-novice faculty and allow a choice of CMS.

Abstract We have developed a Web-based interactive cam design package under the programming paradigm of the CH language environment. This package was initially developed as a teaching and learning tool for educational use in an undergraduate Computer-Aided Mechanism Design course. Because the system is Web-based and implemented through a client/server model with the user interface through the Web browser, it is easy to use and maintain. The system can also be used to solve practical engineering cam design problems with two follower motion types of translation and oscillation. The system can be used to generate cam profile, position, velocity, and acceleration histories of the follower. Once a cam/follower system is designed, animation of the cam/follower system can be performed. At the end of the design, the CNC code for manufacturing the designed cam can also be produced through our Web-based cam design system. The package consists of a number of modules including various Web pages, common gateway interface (CGI) programs, and a CH program called cam which performs the necessary computation for cam design. Two different versions of the cam design package have been designed and implemented. One runs the cam design program on the client machine as a CH applet, and the other runs the cam design program on the Web server though CGI. In this paper, details of design and implementation of Web-based cam design package will be described. Two application examples with different motion types for the follower will be used to illustrate features of the applet-based and CGI-based implementation schemes.

The wide application of Information and Communication Technologies offers great opportunities for the innovation of education, especially in universities. There are varieties of resources on the Internet, which teachers can use for their teaching, assimilating into the curriculum and into teaching methods. Based on constructivism learning theory, this paper centers on the advantages of practicing the web-based instruction by comparison to the traditional one. The media centers, a web-based learning enviroment, has been set up for students to learn as a platform for their after-class review, for their individulized instruction, for their collaborative learning and for exchanging educational resources among teachers. The notes of the Internet-assisting instruction is also discussed to emphasize that the new instruction is a useful complement not replacement to conventional teaching. So it is pointed out that the Internet should become a necessary supplementary for teaching and learning in university as the input resources and the output tools.

In every institution, it is definitely needed employees workers who manage the company so that it can run the activities of companies that use HR (Human Resources) one of them is in the education field, it needs workers who manage it, so that it can run teaching and learning activities well. In the procurement of labor or employees that must be really selective, to maximize performance in their respective duties. The development of technology is very possible that the information system is not only used as a tool for the implementation of the lecture process but it can also be used in the implementation of the web-based recruitment test. A web-based information system will be designed and developed to enable the employee selection process in a psychological test to be more selective and easier.

We present the initial study based on the development of an online tool for sales representatives of cosmetic products in Mauritius. The management tool to be developed is expected to help the sales representatives to better manage their business. Virtually all the sales representatives in Mauritius are currently using a manual system and hereby face lots difficulties to optimize their business. We expect that the web-based stock management tool for the sales representatives will help to solve this problem in an effective way by providing an online means to manage the system which they can securely access from anywhere via the Internet. In this article, we analyze the various problems that the representatives are currently facing and we provide considerable solutions to these problems. We also describe the various functionalities and features that the system will cater for.

This special issue of the Knowledge Management & E-Learning: an international journal(KM&EL) aims to stimulate interest in the web based issues in both teaching and learning, expose natural collaboration among the authors and readers, inform the larger research community of the interest and importance of this area and create a forum for evaluating innovations and challenges. We intend to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in developing and enhancing web-based learning environment. The objectives for this attempt are to provide a forum for discussion of ideas and techniques developed and used in web based learning. In addition the issue can also be used for educators and developers to discuss requirements for web-based education. Both theoretical papers and papers reporting implementation models, technology used and practical results are included in the issue.
