Purpose

This guide has been created to provide World Wide Web course developers
with a set of common standards and guidelines for publishing courses on
line. Some of the standards make eminent sense to everyone, others have
been agreed to just to ensure that we all develop to a common standard.
This makes courses more interchangeable and usable among those who agree
to develop to the accepted standards.

*Purpose of the Web Pages*

The Web page is the common element of all courses developed. It will
link all the elements of the course and direct the learner to specific
media (Web-based, computer-based, paper-based, audio and/or video
materials) or activities. The design model is learning-centred. All
courses are asynchronous with the Web environment facilitating the
interaction between:

    * the learner and the course material
    * the learner and the instructor/facilitator
    * the learner and peers 

The learners will interact through:

    * Online *discussion *forums
    * Direct *e-mail* access to the facilitator
    * Content *index*
    * *Help* section
    * Glossary

If desired, interaction can also be promoted through live classes or
teleconferences, but the courses should stand alone online in an
asynchronous environment and not be dependent on live interactions with
the teacher or other students.
