This paper reports research in progress. It presents information in the literature on converting traditional courses into Webbased format. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part makes and introduction to Distance Education (DE) and Web-Based Instruction (WBI), which combines features from both face-to-face classroom instruction and DE. The second part discusses current Instruction...

background :comparing computer and internet based instruction with traditional giving lecture would provide enough evidence to identify best teaching practice. in this study, we compared lecture, interactive internet based and computer based learning regarding medical students' knowledge acquisition and satisfaction in teaching pathophysiology of hematology and oncology.   methods : eighty four...

This study attempts to analyze teaching and learning processes of web-based instruction (WBI) as shown in recent literature, and to develop a theoretical framework of WBI using a prominent existing distance education theory called Transactional Distance Theory in order to provide better understanding of the essential pedagogical components of WBI. Recent studies have shown that the key elements...

The purpose of this case study is to better understand the relationships between Web usability and students’ perceived learning in the design and implementation of Web-based multimedia (WBMM) tutorials in blended courses. Much of the current research in this area focuses on the use of multimedia as a replacement for classroom instruction rather than as a complement to teaching practices in cour...

The World-Wide Web has become the predominant platform for computer-aided instruction. Contentorientation, access and interactive features have made the Web a successful technology. The Web, however, is still evolving. We expect in particular Semantic Web technology to substantially impact Web-based teaching and learning. In this paper, we examine the potential of this technology and how we exp...

A computer based interactive instruction for a first introduction to Matlab has been developed and stored on CD-Rom. The program integrates Matlab and the authoring program Medi8or, so an active use of the Matlab command window is combined with text and speaks. A specially developed Web-based computer conference system was used for enrolment, discussion forum, help from the teacher etc. This sy...

This paper describes the design and development of a multimedia program that provides instruction in locating, evaluating and citing information in a university library. The paper also discusses the use of interactive multimedia for instruction. The program was developed by a collaborative team of instructional designers, content experts, and media consultants using Authorware. The program uses...

This paper discusses the problems of developing versatile adaptive and intelligent learning systems that can be used in the context of practical Web-based education. We argue that versatility is an important feature of successful Web-based education systems. We introduce ELM-ART, an intelligent interactive educational system to support learning programming in LISP. ELM-ART provides all learning...
