Development of Reusable Units for Active Engineering Learning

The central ideas behind learning design represent new possibilities for increasing the quality and variety of teaching and learning within an elearning context. Successful learning design for engineers requires understanding of the learner's needs, applying appropriate scenario, and defining the engaging learning activities. The paper describes the experience gained in designing the reusable units of learning in the course of electronics. They were developed using the framework and the methodology proposed in the IMS Learning Design specification. Web 2.0 technologies are used for implementation of active learning strategies because they have great potential to change learning, communication and publishing practices in engineering education.
