Paper Abstract:
|
This article presents the results of applying an instructional model to distance learning of subjects related to information
and communications technologies within the information technology specialists training programme taught by the
Spanish Public Administration. The study was conducted on a Java programming course, which has been taught
presentially since 1997 and as distance education since 2001, originally by virtualizing the contents and simulating faceto-
face classroom teaching through videoconferencing, and later, as of 2004, using this instructional model. The model
also incorporates a blended approach to the learning process in web-based distance education, combining self-paced
learning, live e-learning and face-to-face classrooms. The results of this study show the impact of applying the proposed
instructional model on the time it takes students to study the course and learning objective attainment. To do this, we took
into account three instructional conditions: traditional face-to-face classroom, distance learning after contents
virtualization and distance learning applying the proposed instructional model. |
