DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN UNDERGRADUATE COURSE ON INTERNET APPLICATIONS BASED ON AN INTEGRAL PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH

Abstract

Several aspects such as the large amounts of knowledge that can be found in the Internet applications field, the rapid and continuous evolution of Internet, and methodological problems that have been commonly reported in computer programming courses, challenge the designing and development of Internet application courses. In this paper, we present an integral pedagogical approach to design and teach such courses, considering all of those aspects by means of: (1) The definition of a balance among several thematic axes, and the generation of high-level programming skills; (2) a structured set of learning resources along with tools that facilitate the management and evolution of them; and (3) a pedagogical active learning model that helps instructors teach in a systematic way.
