Resumen de From Blended Learning To eLearning: Experience With The MScICT Program
School of Information Technology (College of Internet Distance Education, Assumption University of Thailand) offers the M.Sc. in ICT program in eLearning. In the beginning, restricted by the lack of public approval of eLearning in the country, the program was offered in blended mode with the support of ITPlus (the web-based LMS and support system) together with streaming classroom video. Since May 2006, the program has been offered in eLearning mode whereby class attendance is completely optional. Following the transition, students are queried for their opinions on the system and its effectiveness. The approach receives favorable opinions and considered equivalent or slightly better than traditional classroom mode. The transitioning from traditional classroom to blended mode and finally to eLearning mode attributes mainly to the acceptance of the program by the students and the smooth operation.
