E-learning development for MSc in operational research and applied statistics

Abstract

One of the most rapidly changing and exciting areas of education in the world today is the delivery of assessment and case study using Interactive Multimedia (IMM) technology. This new technology is a solution in overcoming the weaknesses and limitations of traditional method. Combination of multimedia element such as text, graphic, animation as well as simulation can significantly improve the quality of learning environment. Assessment and case studies may be presented more vividly and realistically in interactive way. These project concerns on developing the prototype of designing the IMM Delay Time Modelling assessment and case studies. The main aim is to provide the blueprint as a guide for developers in developing E-Learning modules. In order to achieve the aimed stated, the learning environment and architecture of IMM assessment and case studies need to be defined first prior from designing the storyboards. Microsoft Power Point 2000 had been used in the development of the storyboards. The assessment and case studies in this project are based on maintenance tutorial sheet for the Msc Operational Research and Applied statistics and journal papers.
