Abstract

In Distance Education "polymorphic" educational material, has a central teaching role within the updated framework of the autonomous and heuristic learning process. By following special principles in its design and development, it is truly efficient and suitable for the demanding needs of the 21st-century education. This study describes the collaborative and interactive experience of a group of 6 postgraduate students from the O.U.C. and their tutor’s encouragement, to transform University’s educational material in an eLearning format. Students acted as co-authors of the material of their module, as part of their assignments, that they had been integrated in the curriculum process, applying all the synchronous principles on developing educational material suitable for Distance Education’s purposes. Taking advantage of the West & Lionaraki as well as Keller's models (A.R.C.S.), they targeted to cover the distance trainees’ multiple educational needs, offering them a variety of media and freedom of choice and coming in line with the existing different learning styles and the individual rhythm of each student study. This educational innovation comes as an equivalent and alternative suggestion, contributing to the field of Distance Education with up-to-date material both in content and form.
