Students
Give CS1101 Thumbs Up
CS1101
- Programme Methodology, was nominated as having the
best use of technology in teaching. In a survey on the use of IVLE,
CS1101, by Dr
Heng Aik Koan, Department of Computer Science, received
thumbs up from the most students as having the best use of IVLE
tools, well-designed and frequent update of course website. These
features translate to an enriching experience for students learning
on the Web.
Dr
Heng shares his experience on building his website for students:
|
"Firstly,
I have always encouraged my students to fully make use of
the IVLE forum for discussions. The discussion foum is an
especially useful tool for peer-to-peer interaction, as many
of their seniors also visit the forum to provide tips and
help related to the course subject.
I
have also conducted a few quizes using the IVLE quiz system,
and actually made several suggestions to the developers on
how to improve the 'user-friendly' aspect of the system. Being
a user, I know what I want, and developers have been very
receptive and helpful in that area.
In
every lecture, I would always try to solve an application
together with my students, using the workstations in the LT.
The students really enjoyed these sessions, and at the very
least, it helps to explain the concepts more clearly.
You have to be brave enough to want to develop and implement
an application for 600 plus students without the help of lecture
notes. This is especially so if you have to do it in a short
time; your brains would really need to be 'on-the-go'."
