Welcome to KFUPM Open Courseware
Welcome to the KFUPM
Open Courseware website.
One of the primary
goals of King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) is to
promote e-Learning and effective utilization of technology to enhance
teaching and learning. As part of its mission to establish leadership in
the area of e-Learning in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East region, KFUPM
is planning to have open access to its course material.
The
e-Learning
Center, in the
Deanship of
Academic Development at KFUPM is in charge of promoting the use of
web for teaching and learning at the university. For this purpose the
e-Learning Center has provided a course management system,
WebCT/Blackboard, which provides integrated access to online resources
to students and instructors for the purpose of teaching and learning.
Instructors use WebCT/Blackboard to provide traceable access to course
material. In addition, it provides the platform for interactive learning
including collaboration through the online discussion and instant
feedback on submitting online quizzes. The real value of the use of
online environment for learning comes from the various types of
interactions that occur in environment.
The material that
instructors post on WebCT/Blackboard is available only to the students
enrolled in the course. To further extend the value of the material,
this site provides a direct access to the material published in the
course management system. The purpose is to provide open access to the
material, which we hope will be a valuable source of reference. The
material that appears on this site has been published after taking
proper permission from faculty members. |
