Abstract

Technology plays a critical role in delivering modern education to the next generation. Proper and effective use of technology is extremely important especially for distance education. Students who enrol in distance mode have a number of limitations as most of them work full time along with the commitments to the family. Distance education in engineering has its own unique set of challenges; it has to ensure the learning outcomes are met through the content, delivery style and assessment strategies. It also has to ensure the distance students are provided a learning experience at par with on campus students in terms of access to laboratory facilities and hands on experience. The Project Oriented Design Based Learning model drives the learning through a design based project and employs a blended learning environment to address the challenges faced in distance engineering education. This paper discusses technology integration for the distance students based on the Project Oriented Design Based Learning.
