  1. eLessons in JCSE – status report Zoran Putnik, Zoran Budimac

  2. JCSE – original state report • JCSE originally, at Humboldt, consists of: • 5 parts, 28 topics, 1400+smtg slides • 8 “additional problems” topics • 2425 minutes = 61 lecture hours

  3. JCSE – original state report • JCSE in practice, in Novi Sad, consists of: • 5 parts, 22-23 topics • NO “additional problems” topics • 1835 minutes = 44 lecture hours • eLearning part!

  4. eLearning in Novi Sad – State of the art • Chair of Computer Science of the DMI in Novi Sad, uses LMS Moodle since 2003. • Currently, our system has (Jun, 2009): • 8 categories, • 92 courses, • 663 users • http://perun.dmi.uns.ac.rs/moodle(http://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/moodle)

  5. eLearning in Novi Sad – State of the art • Since the beginning, actually the first course on Moodle, was JCSE. • Every year, we start with the fresh list of users • last year, we had 62 users (before that 85, than 65, 60 …) • currently we have 0 users  • Every year we further developed learning material

  6. eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view • At the beginning, Moodle was simply a repository of teaching material: • pdf versions of English slides, • pdf versions of Serbian slides • 3 versions for each type: • 1 slide per page • 2 slides per page • 6 slides per page

  7. eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view • Since there is NO book for the course, this was the only material students used for studies – which they found insufficient! • From school-year 2005/06, we started the development of different types of learning material – with the greathelp of our students!

  8. eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view II • As one of the possibilities for the course “Elective Seminar”, we offered course “E-learning”. • Students of the 4th year, those who already passed the JCSE exam, we employed to develop eLessonsfor the course.

  9. eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view II • After the first year – we had 6 eLessons, that were offered to the next generation of students, as additional material. • They were NOT satisfied, in general! Most of the eLessons were static, more of a “copies of the original slides”, “divided into too many sub-lessons”, and “nothing BUT that!”.

  10. eLearning in Novi Sad – Improvement view • We learned from our/their mistakes, and the following year, set more precise rules for eLessons: • the whole material should be created as a single eLesson, • there must be a glossary with “less known notions and all of the definitions”, • there must be a database with N questions, that are randomly selected to form a self-testing quiz

  11. eLearning in Novi Sad – Improvement view • So … year by year … our set of eLessons, eGlossaries, and eQuizzes grew! • At the end of school-year 2007/2008, we tough we HAD 23 Topics (out of 23  existing) covered!

  12. eLearning in Novi Sad – Improvement view • OK, ok … some problems too! • Students didn’t like our topics! • they were full of typos! • they did not have “our”, “local” letters! • Those 2 guys on the right look like the ones that would be satisfied?

  13. eLearning in Novi Sad – Current view • So – we analyzed the whole ePart of the course: • Out of 23 – 4 topics were NOT covered  • 6 topics MUST be improved, 3 additional SHOULD! • 7 topics MUST have a quiz, 3 additional could use a better one! • Once in a future, topics should be enhanced with assignments and forums! • Some of the topics are already extended with Links, Chats, and/or Surveys. Why not all?

  14. eLearning in Novi Sad – Current view • Those were the little things! • What was huge, were errors made, a (little bit) by students, and (much more) by transition between versions of LMS Moodle. • Naturally, we fixed them! It took us 2 weeks of on-line time … but it’s “perfect” now!

  15. eLearning in Novi Sad – Current view • What else? • All of the mentioned was done by us. Then we employed students, once more. • In the meantime – 7 more students got their jobs/exams creating JCSE eLessons! • 3 of those are finished and added, 4 of them are somewhere in the development process.

  16. eLearning in Novi Sad – Future view • What next? • There are 5 more lessons never presented in Novi Sad, and not covered by eFacilities. • There are “additional topics”. Never presented nor covered. • There is a need, for improvement of several (more) of the existing topics.

  17. eLearning in Novi Sad – Future view • What next? • In other words – we DO have what to do in the future … • What’s important, what we DO have is NOW usable!
