| description | Optimal learning in product design occurs in the simulation of real world and problembased
learning (PBL) activities. This is the core of teaching and learning in most of
engineering disciplines. These learning activities happen in a safe environment where
errors are expected, and failure will deepen learning experience. The internet is proving
to be an effective way of delivering teaching and learning in engineering discipline.
The advent of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and
learning process has created a global revolutionary of adult education and training. As
society shifts from industrial to an information age, adults are becoming majority that
involve in utilizing e-learning for education, professional and personal purposes.
The teaching and learning environments in current higher learning institutions are
undergoing major changes from teacher-centered, memory-based learning to a learnercentered,
problem-based and self-directed learning (SDL) that can enhance learners’
critical thinking, creativity and outstanding performance. This is the major challenge and
the responsibility of adult educators to think and to substitute homogenized and linear
flows of e-learning to fluid and multi-dimensional pedagogies that will promote and
accelerate meaningful learning process.
The purport of this paper is to discuss how web-based learning system can enhance
learning in product design among adult learners in higher learning institution. This paper
will also provide general understanding on several learning theories namely andragogy,
SDL and PBL which can help educators to develop an effective web-based learning
system for their adult learners. (Author's abstract) |
