E-learning tools to enhance student learning experience: A practice on control system engineering

Abstract

One of the challenging and difficult tasks is to get the students actively engaged inside the classroom and help them to embrace online material off campus. As stated in [17] More times students spend engaged, the more they can enhance their learning skills. For a long time, a good number of teaching tools and techniques have been in practice to address the problem of student engagement [2]. In today's digital technology, students are showing a keen interest in adapting digital devices like mobile phones and laptops[10]. Recent studies shows that the teaching with mobile technologies is increasing because of its positive impact on students' engagement which in turn improves student experiences[1,2]. The research aims at briefing the design and implementation of Flipped teaching using e-tools such as Titan pad and Flubaroo and its impact on the Students Performance at Institutional level in Oman. A 10:2 Methodology proposed by S. Hurst in Reading Horizon [18] has been adapted. The Cohort students were 42 students were involved in this practice from two sessions. Many different activities were conducted in the class to simulate the design such as Group activities, Individual activities, Quizzes etc. Both type of data Qualitative and Quantitative are analysed and it was proved to be successful from the results obtained and hence enhancing students learning experiences and their performance.
