Abstract :
The Rensselaer 80/20 Model combines both asynchronous and synchronous activities to create a complete course. Asynchrony utilizes the World Wide Web and has students doing activities on their time and at their location. Synchrony brings students together in time for complementary activities using any number of technologies. The paper describes the application of the Rensselaer 80/20 Model to a course in Object-Oriented User Interface Development (OOUID) that is a part of our professional master´s program. It brings together the “GuideOnTheSide” for asynchronous learning and a synchronous software product called LearnLinc both pioneered at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
