Zuhal Tanrıkulu · The EDUCAUSE quarterly/EDUCAUSE quarterly · 2006
Many universities are reevaluating their traditional educational methods and providing pedagogical material through the Internet.1 Some Web-based systems offer a constructionist learning environment, for example, where students can learn by designing their own objects.2 Providing effective, convenient technology to support learning is important, and the Web offers multiple opportunities for the academic who wants to take advantage of its capabilities in teaching and engaging students. The most popular support tools are Internet chat applications. They exist in endless variations, such as Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Chat is used for education and pleasure and sometimes replaces the phone as a means of communication.3 An electronic support system was developed specifically to provide Web-based support for students and instructors in the Management Information Systems (MIS) Department at Bogazici University in Turkey. Because of its flexibility, the resulting system, called MISESS, could easily support other departments and other universities wanting to offer course materials, exams, and tutorial services online.
