Abstract

This paper presents a structured tool envisaged to self-paced learning of web based information systems, targeted to students of all areas of engineering, namely non information and communications technologies students.

Hands on experience is the dominant feature of the tool, with the user being conducted through the following methodological steps: (i) Web based information systems development roadmap; (ii) Building blocks, procedures and resources; (iii) Commented sets of links to other resources available via the Internet; (iv) Illustrative application examples.

Preliminary trials indicate that involved students are reacting very positively to the utilization of the tool.

There is the intention of congregating the interest of other higher education institutions, involving them in the subsequent consolidation and improvement of the tool, making it also available to students of other areas where web based information systems might play an important role.
