Abstract
The accumulated experience from years of on-line learning in the academia suggests a series of serious problems in the way this yet-evolving means of learning is utilized. Problems include poor course-design and pedagogy; human limitations, both physical and cognitive, in learning effectively in non-linear hypermedia environments; the anonymity of learning, dictated by this technological means of communication; and the lack of tailor-made online resources, that fit the course objectives and the students. We suggest that a model that combines the pedagogical, cognitive, and technological aspects of on-line learning, should be used when designing an online academic course. The present paper presents a pilot for such a model, developed for an online course in instructional technology at the Open University, Israel.
