Abstract

With the development of new undergraduate degree programmes within Murdoch University´s School of Engineering, the decision was made to offer courses, as much as practical, online. This provides numerous challenges to be addressed including considerations of curriculum design and learning issues. Within the software engineering program, an infrastructure has been developed to address these issues and to enable students to exercise a measure of control over their learning experiences
