Using Lotus Learning Space to enhance student learning of data communications

On-line delivery of courses has become a viable option because of the Internet. This paper describes how we deliver and manage part of a postgraduate degree in telecommunications. We aim to foster learner centered education while providing sufficient teacher centred activities to counter some of the known concerns with entirely learner centred education. We use the Internet as the communication infrastructure to deliver teaching material globally and Lotus Learning Space to provide the learning environment.
