How to develop cost-effective e-courses
Jeanne Lam, Norris Lau, Daniel Mok and Simon K S Cheung
SPACE, University of Hong Kong
Hong Kong SAR, ChinaModern day students expect more e-learning support to complement or supplement their studies. e-Courses can fulfill students' ubiquitous learning needs and can save teaching costs in the long term due to their reusability. However, high initial development costs and complex technical issues are the barriers for institutes to start building quality e-courses.
In this workshop, we will share our experiences in overcoming the cost and technical barriers in developing cost-effective e-courses using a Financial Planning e-course as an example. Participants will have an opportunity to learn the process of e-course development starting from scratch. Development practices and technical issues will be addressed in detail.
This workshop is suitable for course administrators and instructors who would like to develop cost-effective e-courses.
