Abstract
This paper presents the concept of learning units as a vehicle for curriculum design in computer science that is suited for distance learning. Our emergent view of distance learning is based on desktop and Internet technologies. This emergent view of distance learning is neither bound by time nor by place. This is unlike traditional distance learning programs where satellite uplinks and/or videotapes are the primary method of delivery of course lectures. The learning unit based curriculum described here accounts for all of the guidelines and knowledge units set forth in Curricula 1991 of the ACM/IEEE.
