Abstract

Distance Education (DE) is a type of education where students interact with an instructor outside of the classroom confines (Gonçalves, 1996; Little & Venkatesh, 1995; Perraton, 1988; Relan & Gillani, 1997). As the Internet rapidly emerges, the World Wide Web (Web) has become an increasingly powerful, global, interactive, and dynamic medium for sharing information. Web-based instruction can be viewed as an innovative approach for delivering instruction to a remote audience. We can define web-based instruction as a hypermedia-based instructional program that utilizes the attributes and resources of the Web to create a meaningful learning environment that is fostered and supported (Khan, 1997). This article presents WebCourse, a hierarchical, web-based tool composed of three interconnected modules that help instructors create and manage web-based courses, and give teacher assistants (TAs), and students useful tools to participate effectively in such a course.
