Abstract

 

Web-based open learning technology has become a powerful tool to supplement and enhance education. Web-based open learning facilitates individualised instruction. This paper proposes a web-based open technology model to supplement a face-to-face teaching project for final-year, full-time, on-campus undergraduate students participating in the Graduation Project 1 and Graduation Project 2 modules at the College of Computer Science and Engineering at Taibah University, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. In particular, it focuses on the use of web-based open material to better prepare and optimise the student’s work.

 

Key words: Web-based open learning, open learning, learning flexibility, personalised learning.
