3. Introduction Background –Main purpose of this study was to investigate the possible way of improving End User Computing skills –It is also aimed at investigating how we can maximize the use E-Learning at WSU 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 3

4. Definition of Terms E-Learning is a learning environment supported at the continuously evolving, collaborative processes focused on increasing individual and organizational performance (Robert K Logan). Cooperative Learning a teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject ( David & Roger Johnson) 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 4

5. Definition of Terms Continued…. – In cooperative learning, students work face-to- face Collaborative Learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to create a meaningful project. – In collaborative learning students work in different locations sharing their ideas over the Internet 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 5

6. Definition of Terms Continued…. End User Computing is also referred to as Computer Literacy End User Computing is defined as the knowledge and ability to use computer programs and other applications that are associated to computers 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 6

7. End User Computing: A Case for Collaborative Teaching using E-Learning Why collaborative Teaching? –Emphasize importance of subjects integration –Introduce new and different method of teaching & learning environment for students –Maximize the use of E-Learning tool –Improve competency of EUC Skills 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 7

8. Proposed Structure Identify Sample group Prepare a collaborative lecturing plan : Use E-Learning for interaction and monitoring 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 8

9. Recommendations Establish departmental collaborations. Create working platform for lectures Instill commitment to the lecturers and students Provide reasonable access of E-Learning tool 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 9

10. Conclusion Collaborative Teaching will: –Improve research collaboration – produce balanced and informed graduates –Improve teaching and learning environment for students –Utilize resources effectively 10/17/2015Walter Sisulu Research Conference: Advancing Knowledge for Empowerment Through Innovations in Research 10
