Applying Constructivist and Objectivist Learning Theories in the Design of A Web-Based Course: Implications for Practice

The paper provides an overview of the process of designing and developing a Web -based course using instructional design principles and models. First, it will describe instructional design principles and models and how they can be used in designing web-based instruction. Second, upon establishing an instructional design model, it will explain the process of implementing the model in designing and developing a webbased undergraduate teacher education course. Finally, the instructional design model is evaluated in light of the processes and findings from the implementation and evaluation results of the web-based course.
