This paper addresses the benefits of using technology
in developing teaching and learning resources, conducting classes
and assessments in the Digital Systems course which is covered in
the first year in the Engineering Informatics study program at
the College of Computer Science and Business Communications
eMPIRICA in Brcko District of BiH. The paper discusses good
practices for using technology so as to enhance teaching and
learning regardless of whether the teaching is conducted in a
traditional or virtual classroom. Technology was used for onlineenhancement
of face-to-face classes and for blended classes that
are predominantly online-based with the exception of occasional
face-to-face tutorials. Class delivery included the usage of several
latest technologies both for the needs of the classroom and
production of e-learning study materials and conducting distance
education. Learning materials were enriched with eye-catching
multimedia and delivered via e-materials module, while dynamics
of distance learning and teaching was defined within the eclassroom
module, and both can be found on LMS/LCMS
eCampus. At the end of the semester full-time and distance
learning students evaluated technology efficiency and usefulness
used to develop and conduct the course. Benefits of the proper
use of technology in developing learning resources and carrying
out classes have been presented, the detected problems have been
discussed and recommendations for efficient technology usage in
preparing and conducting engineering education have been
given
