Material Detail

The authors discuss a case study experience in conducting scientific courses such as EnvironmentalChemistry and Spectroscopy to different groups of undergraduates at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak(UNIMAS), using web-based learning environments to support conventional teaching/learningsessions. The authors discovered that by supplementing the learning online, students became moreinterested in their respective fields of study, and thus were able to participate in class discussions morefreely. Online, a higher number of group activities can be organized to consolidate the learning ofspecific topics. The web-based learning environment also allows more interaction opportunitiesbetween peers and with the course instructor. Overall, the students reported they found that learningonline made the course more interesting, and that the students were consciously aware that theylearned more in the process. The paper also highlights the major benefits of conducting a course onlinefrom a course instructor’s perspective.
