User Experience in Using MOOC of Assembly Language Programming

摘要

ECE354 (Microprocessor Systems) is a compulsory course offered by Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UiTM for final semester students. This course covers the topics on general purpose microprocessor, its architecture and system organization. Then single chip microcomputer is taught and all aspects of the chip will be covered, from internal architecture, programming up to interfacing. The programming language used for this course is HCS12 Assembly Language. However, this interesting course was available only for the registered on-campus students. Therefore, we take advantage of MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) which allows unlimited worldwide free of charge online participation as well as open access via the web. To realize the MOOC implementation, OpenLearning platform is used. By using this platform, the course modules based on ECE354 syllabus are prepared which include assessment and active interaction tools with students. An online survey was then given to the students who took the course since 2017 to obtain their views in experiencing MOOC usage.
