We report on our experiences with one of our undergraduate courses, database, taught both in the traditional classroom and via e-learning, offered to students at the College of Staten Island and Shanghai TV University. We also discuss the usefulness of the model in developing formal procedures of assessment which were important for the ABET accreditation of the B.S. degree in computer science at the College of Staten Island.
