| Abstract: |
This paper proposes a framework for supporting the authoring process of distance learning courses. An overview of distance learning courses and the World Wide Web is presented. The proposed framework is then described, including: (1) components of the framework--a hypermedia design methodology for authoring the course, links to related Web sites, a set of Internet tools, a site specifying kinds of student assessments, a site indicating students' tasks, and links to a set of software and other executable resources needed for students' work; (2) the Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Method (OOHDM), a model-based approach for building hypermedia applications that comprises four activities--conceptual design, navigational design, abstract interface design, and implementation; (3) modeling of the design of a distance learning class on object-oriented technology; (4) implementation issues, including Internet tools and evaluation questions; and (5) future work. Four figures present the distance learning course framework, the OOHDM conceptual model, OOHDM node class views, and the OOHDM navigational scheme. (MES) |
