Dublin Institute of Technology embraces Linux-based e-learning - James Mortleman, vnunet
The Dublin Institute of Technology has said that a new e-learning system is transforming student life and its lecturers' attitudes to teaching. The Institute's WebCT system went live in September, and is used regularly by around a quarter of its 20,000 students. Kevin O'Rourke, project manager for learning technology at the Institute, said: "It's changing things for students, certainly, but also for the lecturers. "We're waking up to how technology can transform the whole of the educational experience. "One lecturer in his fifties, for example, stumbled into WebCT by accident last year and said that it has rejuvenated his whole approach to teaching."
