Abstract

Lessons learned and techniques used in two graduate computer science courses offered as part of the online Masters of Science degree in the department of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) at the University of Hawaii (UH) are discussed. These courses differed both in the number of instructors and in the number of universities contributing to the student teams. The Advanced Data Management (ADM) professor resides in Norway, while the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) course was taught in parallel at two geographically distant universities by professors in California and Hawaii. We highlight the techniques used to synchronize student learning and support collaborative learning in predominantly asynchronous course structures.
