Integration and Collaboration of Distance Learning to Conduct the

ABSTRACT: Most engineering Institutes and Universities utilize adapted e-learning systems to help learners get personal-suited information. The common characteristic of these efforts is presenting various courses by using multimedia materials. We have investigated technologies, methods and tools of e-learning applications. Based on the studies, we design and implement a distance teaching/learning system which combines on-campus courses and remote activities. In this paper, we propose our distance teaching/learning model. Our school creates the corporative distance learning curricula. Our goals are to promote the students ’ ability of solid learning, innovation, knowledge acquirement, teamwork spirit, and communication skills. In order to help our students, we set up the pedagogic scenarios to embed engineering education into our distance teaching/learning system. We offer the engineering education related courses and take students to participate in the activities of Mars exploration. After these Mars exploration activities, students are more interested in the on-campus courses. This proves that the distance teaching/learning courses plus with remote live activities can stimulate students ’ learning motivation. Besides, we describe the main goals, motivation, detailed methods, and related activities of our distance teaching/learning system in this paper. Our distance teaching/learning system has th
