PARTICIPATORY AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING WITH TELD COURSEWARE ENGINE(上)_计算机网络论文 PARTICIPATORY AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING WITH TELD COURSEWARE ENGINE(上)_计算机网络论文 ABSTRACT TELD stands for “Teaching by Examples and Learning by Doing”. It unifies what have been widely known as Case method (CM), Problem-base learning (PBL), and Project-based learning (PBL) in business, medical, and engineering education respectively. Two key premises of successful TELD are student participation and collaboration during the TELD process. It is usually resource-intensive to accomplish these two premises. The number of tutors required to facilitate seminars and workshops within small groups is obviously greater than that of teachers to give formal lectures to large classes. This requirement restricts the adoption of the TELD method in educational establishments where resources are increasingly stretched already. The TELD courseware engine has been developed with an intention to overcome this limitation to some extent. As a virtual study room, TELD provides facilities for the groups and teams to plan their learning activities, to indicate the roles and responsibilities of team members, and to indicate when and what individual members should do and how they should integrate their findings through teamwork in the form of workshops or meetings. This paper discusses and explains these TELD online facilities for enabling student involvement and collaboration.

INTRODUCTION TELD stands for “Teaching by Examples and Learning by Doing”. TELD represents a teaching and learning method that unifies what have been widely known as Case method (CM), Problem-base learning (PBL), and Project-based learning (PBL) in business, medical, and engineering education respectively. For example, the case method (CM) has been adopted by a vast number of business programs all over the worl
