Internet Based Curriculum Innovation In Information Engineering And E Business: The Integrated Curriculum Delivery System

The current compartmentalization of educational material into courses limits a student’s ability to quickly and easily access information from a variety of topics, explore new topics, and review prerequisite knowledge once in more advanced courses. In a larger sense, students may not understand the relationships between material presented in different courses, and therefore not develop an understanding of the fundamental relationship between concepts in their area of study. The compartmentalization of material is a result of physical and temporal expediency, including the practical need to delineate faculty responsibilities, the lack of a standardized method for referencing material between courses, and the specialization within individual academic domains. As a result, ascertaining the relationships between common concepts occurring within and between disciplines becomes a challenge for students.
