An evolving instructional design model for designing Web-based courses

The complexity of design for Web-based courses requires the incorporation of instructional design principles. However, the majority of the existing models were not adequate to address the needs of Web based learning. This project therefore stems from the fact that a specific instructional design model is needed to guide designers in developing Web based courses. A study was conducted in a multimedia course offered by the Multimedia University, Malaysia to investigate the scaffoldings for Web based learning. The findings from the study conform to the components in which the SWLing instructional design model was developed.
