Abstract:
and science programs, is the most common complaint among students, contributing to dropout rates. Recruitment and retention have long been a concern for leading engineering educators, who recognise that meeting the needs of today's students requires more than the traditional pedagogy. They recommend adoption of student-centered education, and champion good teaching practice. At the same time, information technology is transforming our lives. However, while good teaching does not necessarily mean the use of technology, for technology to be effective, it needs to be a natural extension of good teaching. This paper presents my experiences from four years of hypermedia-assisted teaching of undergraduate engineering courses, where I have successfully used technology to enhance the good teaching practice. Index Terms ⎯ seven principles of good teaching practice, technology-assisted teaching, learning styles, academic achievement.
