Abstract(s)

While universities and colleges are speeding up to launch their courses on the Internet, it is not always true that every e-learning site exhibits pedagogical quality and a learner-centered design. Putting a course online is more than a matter of pasting the content into a web page. Important considerations on what should and should not be included in an online course and what tools work best to produce the content of learning events for elearning should be made. This paper discusses three levels of criteria to evaluate learning web sites: (1) content, (2) instructional design, and (3) interface design. It concludes with some guidelines regarding the impact of these criteria on the design of e-learning.
