ABSTRACT
The accelerating evolution of learning technologies has multiplied the number of decisions one must take to create a Distributed Learning System (DLS). While it is true that a majority of the first web-based applications have been mostly ways to distribute information, more and more educators have become aware of the need to go beyond these simple uses of information and communication technologies. This context has created a much-needed interest in pedagogical methods and, more generally, the field of instructional design (ID).
