ICT usage in Teaching and Learning (Aplicación de las TIC en docencia Universitaria) Principal Investigator: Miguel Arevalillo Herráez Vicerrectorado de Convergencia Europea y Calidad This project aims to study the results of using ICT in teaching and learning. In particular, the application "Elluminate" is being used as a tool to support remote tutorial sessions for computer related subjects. This application includes several facilities which contribute to improving the learning experience, eg. it allows the student to share their applications with the lecturer. This makes it possible that the lecturer helps students to solve compilation errors or other issues which would otherwise be difficult to explain in words. |
