Research activities

Along with teaching, I have done my postgraduate studies related to web course design. The theme for my research is so-called Topic-Case Driven Approach for Web Course Design. We have developed a topic-case driven methodology for web course design and realization process. This approach is based on software engineering methaphors for capturing the necessary steps for creating web courses using a content-based development method.
