From e-teaching to online learning: Evolution in engineering course design

This paper examines the expansion of the Learning Management System (LMS) beyond the Academic Institutions' boundaries. This includes taking advantage of the rapid development of Web 2.0 technologies for advancement of e-leaning in engineering education. The exponential expansion of different internet communication methodologies and its utilisation to facilitate the teaching and learning processes are also discussed in this paper. The authors reflect their experience in e-teaching/e-learning attempting to emphasis the new philosophy of concurrent remote group learning and its impact on future engineering education. ©2010 IEEE
