Should content development be pursued? Lessons learned from an e-learning content development experience of a start-up university
In this paper we describe our experience in implementing an e-learning content development project at a Malaysian start-up engineering university. Given the teaching-learning culture and resources at the time the project started, certain decisions were made. Outside help, in the form of a consultant...
