Abstract
The Global Campus (GC) project started in May 1999 between the School of Computing Science (SCS) of Middlesex University (MU) and the Regional Information Technology and Software Engineering Centre (RITSEC) in Cairo[1]. RITSEC were keen to further develop their collaboration with Middlesex University and it was decided to launch a complete MSc programme in Distance Learning (DL) mode. This was in line with the University strategy to expand its provision overseas to meet the vast demand for British higher education abroad by offering e-learning supported programmes to provide access to students who would otherwise be unable to benefit due to the prohibitive costs of studying in the UK. At the time there was a worldwide demand for IT/Computing academic qualifications offering good employment opportunities. Professor Mark Woodman, who joined the School from Open University, played a key role in specifying the pedagogy, determining the structure of the Web-based material and choosing the tech nology for delivering and implementing the e-learning programmes. During the course of the project, GC programmes were delivered to students at seven collaborative partner institutions located in five countries: China, Cyprus, Egypt, Hong Kong and Singapore. These programmes were part of the portfolio of the Business Information Systems (BIS) Academic group of the SCS and the same programmes were also delivered to students at our London campus. All programmes employed the same course management, assessment and quality control procedures so that all students had an equivalent learning experience. These procedures complied with the standards laid down by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE). The paper is an attempt to analyse our experience once the project came to an end with the start of the Academic year 2007/8. | Apstrakt
Global Campus (GC) projekat započele su SCS (School of Computing Science sa Midlsesk Univerziteta – MU) i RITSEC (Regional Information Technology and Software Engineering Centre) u maju 1999 u Kairu [1]. RITSEC je želeo da nastavi saradnju sa Univerzitetom u Midlseksu, pa je odlučeno da se započne sa kompletnim MSc programom za učenje na daljinu (Distance Learning – DL). U skladu sa strategijom Univerziteta za proširenje uslužnih kapaciteta i van zemlje kako bi se izašlo u susret ogromnim zahtevima za sticanje obrazovanja na britanskim fakultetima iz inostranstva, ponuđeni su kompletni programi e-učenja kako bi se obezbedio pristup studentima kojima bi mogućnost školovanje u Velikoj Britaniji bila uskraćena zbog preterano visokih školarina. U to vreme širom sveta tražilo se akademsko poznavanje IT/kompjutera kao preduslov za bolji posao. Profesor Mark Vudman (Woodman) koji se pridružio SCS školi odigrao je ključnu ulogu u osmišljavanju pedagoškog pristupa nastavi, odredivši sadržaj intern et materijala i odabravši način dostave i implementacije programa za e-učenje. Tokom trajanja projekta, GC programi su dostavljani studentima preko sedam partnerskih institucija za saradnju u pet zemalja: u Kini, na Kipru, u Egiptu, Hongkongu i Singapuru. Ovi programi predstavljali su deo portfolia akademske grupe SCS škole za poslovne informativne sisteme (BIS) i po istim programima radili su i studenti na našim fakultetima u Londonu. Za sve programe su važile iste procedure za upravljanje, ocenjivanje i kontrolu kvaliteta tako da su svi studenti imali istu mogućnost praćenja nastave i učenja. Ove procedure su bile u skladu sa standardima koje je propisala Agencija za obezbeđenje kvaliteta – QAA (Quality Assurance Agency) pri Veću fonda za visoko obrazovanje – HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council). Ovim radom smo pokušali da izvršimo analizu stečenog iskustva, pošto je projekat okončan početkom školske 2007/8. |
