Project based learning in higher education with ICT: Designing and tutoring digital design course at M S R I T, Bangalore

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to develop digital design curricula using modified Bloom's Taxonomy for making it more appealing to the students. The proposed approach uses the Project Based Learning strategy for increasing the attractiveness of the course. The case study also explores the use of ICT for effective teaching and learning. The developed curriculum has been evaluated successfully for the last three academic years. The students have shown increased interest in the digital design course, have acquired new skills and obtained good academic results. An important observation during the conduction of the course was that all the students have developed innovative digital systems, exhibited team work and have made a poster presentation during their second year of engineering undergraduate course. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
