Abstract

Recent research has demonstrated that online and micro-modules video has several advantages over videotaping of lengthy lectures. For example, the micro-modules are more focused on the subject, higher quality and better made with intentionality, more suited for personalized learning, appropriate for skill-based learning, and constructive for learner-centred approach. Students have greater access to establish their own learning space, to revise and learn at their own pace and time (anytime-anywhere) in addition to the normal class schedule in campus, also at the same time prepare themselves for class discussion (flipped learning) to explore in greater depth and rich learning experience. Hence, in order to raise the quality of teaching and learning, the Engineering Faculty continues to promote and deploy video-based eLearning series for programming courses.

The main objective of producing this series of video contents is to develop an online video library of fundamental programming language including but not limited to introduction to C, C++, Java, MATLAB and Python. In addition to video-only micro-modules, we plan to consider enhancing the curriculum design by introducing animation, illustration and multimedia components as appropriate. The expected outcome of this project is to build a high quality of fundamental programming online catalogue and repository that serve the faculty as well as the university on promoting eLearning through effective and innovative courses using micro-modules video.
