Abstract

Summer term A, 1996, was the time frame for the University of Central Florida’s first fully Web-based, distance learning course. It was not a course that had been scrutinized by curriculum committees or that enjoyed the support of media and development resources. Rather it was a little-known experiment undertaken by a faculty subject matter expert and an instructional designer. This paper describes the methods used to research, design, develop and implement the vocational teacher certification course conducted over a six week period using the World Wide Web (WWW) and e-mail. Lessons learned from problems encountered during this experience are shared along with strategies for dealing with the issues.
