Embedding a pedagogical model in the design of an online course.
The importance of course design and its relationship to learning is overlooked when the electronic version of a course is static. The author discusses the process used to redesign a traditional course into a dynamic and interactive Web-based course by using a pedagogical model developed specifically for hypermedia. Congruence between the instructional methods and the media is a must for a successful design that meets the needs of a wide variety of learners. The hyperlearning model, Dimensions, provides the infrastructure to facilitate the congruence of methods and media while supporting multiple learning styles.
