    A model for the implementation and sustainability of a course management system in a research university
    (UNITEC Institute of Technology; ascilite, 2002) Crisp, Geoffrey Thomas; Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education. Conference (19th : 2002 : Auckland, New Zealand); ASCILITE 2002; Learning and Teaching Development Unit
    Many universities are facing the prospect of committing significant resources to a course management system. This paper presents a model adopted at a research university with predominantly on-campus students, for the implementation and sustainability of such a system. Although no one solution will suit all institutions, research-intensive universities all have a common culture that must be acknowledged and accommodated with any model for a distributed learning environment. This model emphasizes partnerships between the technical and academic areas of the universities and active student participation.

    Using Java applets to help make online assessment interactive
    (UNITEC Institute of Technology; ascilite, 2002) Crisp, Geoffrey Thomas; Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education. Conference (19th : 2002 : Auckland, New Zealand); ASCILITE 2002; Learning and Teaching Development Unit
    For those involved in designing online environments special attention must be afforded to interactivity. Online tasks should involve students actively engaging with tools and resources they will potentially use in their later employment. Java applets, embedded in course web sites, can enhance educational material with animations, applications that are responsive to student choices, and provide interactivity to engage students in active learning. The interactivity inherent in these applets allows a student to explore, to make errors, and seek their own solutions. They can all be incorporated into online assessment to allow students to interact with real tools.
