Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Online Learning at University: Discussion

2:20 pm

Mr. John D'Arcy:

Although the figures in my short submission highlighted a strong preponderance of maths, computing and technology courses, it does not reflect a pattern over the years. Arts is a very high performing area for us in Ireland. One of the first e-books we had on the Apple iTunes store was about Schubert's Lieder. It brought the high musical art to life because students could flick a page and click on an audio file, and the music jumped out at them. Because students could follow the score, it was almost like karaoke.
