ABSTRACT

Before beginning to design an online course or a curriculum containing several courses, it is important for you to first define online instruction for your specific course(s). Not every online course is taught 100 percent on the Web. In fact, the majority of online courses are hybrids of traditional classroom environments, interactive video environments, and even correspondence courses. Forms of online instruction include:

• Sharing information on a Web site (examples: course syllabus, instructor notes, test results).
