An Evaluation of Electronic Product Design Education Using Hypermedia-Resourced Learning Environments
Page, Tom; Thorsteinsson, Gisli
Journal of Educational Technology, v3 n3 p42-47 Oct-Dec 2006
The work outlined here provides a comprehensive report and formative observations of the development and implementation of hypermedia resources for learning and teaching used in conjunction with a managed learning environment (MLE). These resources are used to enhance teaching and learning of an electronics module in product design at final year undergraduate level in Loughborough University. This research has taken place over a two year period when such resources were developed and implemented. Such hypermedia-based learning resources were developed by the author and include text, graphical, video and sound based media. The managed learning environment referred to in this paper as "Learn" is a university wide file-server system which is used to facilitate distance learning as well as provide support to many aspects of teaching, learning and assessment at Loughborough University. The work reported here focusses on the use of the MLE in support of face to face learning as this module is not undertaken on a distance learning basis. The author has uploaded all relevant teaching and learning resources onto the MLE for accessibility by the students on this module. Moreover, internet-based learning resources and assessments, in the form of pre-written computer programs and circuit building projects, were developed by the author, to enable the students to gauge their knowledge and understanding at staged points through the tutorial and laboratory sessions within the module. In addition, this paper presents through case study, the way in which this module is delivered and received, illustrating how such resources are used by both teacher and learner. As such this proves as , an exemplar for effective deployment of such supportive technologies and resources in learning, teaching and assessment of a product design and technology module at undergraduate level.
