Abstract

This article briefly presents a case study in on-line asynchronous course delivery. It sketches the design of a graduate computer science course entitled “Software Design and Quality,” illustrating an effective approach to distance learning that accommodates learning by doing, team collaboration, and critical thinking. It also shows that there are effective alternatives to “canned” streaming media presentations that achieve quality on-line education.
