"A Professor at Clemson University (US) Teaching an Online
Course at AUB”
Georges Fadel, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering,
Clemson
University, USA
A new online graduate course is being offered and taught at
AUB for the first time during the spring semester of 2007,
by Professor George Fadel, from Clemson University, in the
US. Twelve students registered in the course have been
attending one 2-hour live online lecture per week, during
which they see the instructor and ask questions. Moodle is
used for additional course resources and content, assignment
submission, and asynchronous interaction. The design
projects of the students are evaluated by the instructor
during the last two weeks of the semester when he visits AUB.
Professor Fadel will talk about his experience with the
course and the students and will comment on the learning
achieved through this mode compared to conventional mode of
lecturing in class specially that he is offering the same
course in Clemson University to mechanical engineering
graduate students.

“Developing Business Plans Through Moodle”
David
Standen, Olayan School of Business, AUB
The stakeholders of modern education require, now more than ever, an
emphasis on the development of soft skills such as teamwork,
negotiation, communication, collaboration and cultural integration.
Unlike the hard skills, which are easily transmitted in the
traditional classroom environment, soft skills are developed through
activity, action, participation and practice. By creating a
“virtual class,” a meeting place unhindered by time and distance,
students are drawn into a 24/7 learning experience where they
express their questions and doubts as well as answer and comment on
those of their fellow classmates. As their own knowledge and
experience becomes intertwined in the sum of shared information,
they are further motivated to participate and increasingly
stimulated by the subject matter.

“The AUB-Illinois Online Network (ION) Partnership”
Web conferencing with Kevin Johnson (live from the University of
Illinois)
The AUB-ION partnership provides resources to AUB faculty and staff
and opportunities to share interactions with international
colleagues, exchange ideas, and learn
about online education
in a practical way, from both an instructor and a student points of
view.

Georges
Fadel joined Clemson
University in 1992 from Georgia Tech where he got his PhD in
Mechanical Engineering
in 1988 and taught from 1989
to 1992. He previously worked in Europe and in the Middle East
developing and using large simulation codes. Dr. Fadel is the
co-director and founder of the CREDO Laboratory (http://www.ces.clemson.edu/me/credo/)
and is a member and fellow of the ASME, and member of SAE, AIAA,
ISSMO, the Design Society, and Toastmasters.
Dr. Fadel’s
research efforts target the design process from early conception
to pre-production. They identify and develop theories and
methodologies to deal with complex multi-disciplinary and
multi-objective design problems. The methodologies are applied
to packaging problems (under hood of a car, satellites,
avionics, etc.), and to heterogeneous and layered materials
manufacturing. The fields of optimization, simulation and
analysis, and CAD are essential to these methodologies and are
the foundations of supporting work in virtual and physical
prototyping, which led to work in collaborative design.

David Standen is no stranger to
the use of technology in education. David worked for over four
years at Instituto de Empresa Business School in Madrid, where
he developed and launched the Global MBA program (in which he
continues as a Professor of Entrepreneurship and Strategic
Management), the first online MBA program offered by a
top-ranked business school. Now at AUB, David has been quick to
employ the Moodle platform in his classes as a means to create
momentum and maintain a constant level of participation and
collaboration amongst his students.

For the past
ten years, I have developed curriculum and taught in both
academic and corporate environments. Even though I have taught
multiple subjects, a majority of my teaching has centered on
technology. After graduating with my Master of Education degree
from the University of Illinois, I moved to California where I
taught for a Business College. Due to my desire to save paper
(not to mention the desire to no longer fight for the copy
machine), I started providing lecture notes and other resources
to students on CDs. As the Internet emerged, the college asked
me to teach a web development course. It was a natural
transition for me to move from burning CDs to placing course
content on the web. Before I knew it, I was interacting with my
students electronically and my interest in online education
began. It was this interest that pushed me to participate in the
Online Teaching and Learning program through California State
University-Hayward.
The online program through CSU is similar to the MVCR program
offered by the Illinois Online Network. Coursework was completed
in areas of online assessment, facilitation skills, technology
tools, etc. This program truly prepared me for my current
position as an Instructional Designer and Instructor for ION.
