Use of internet for online course delivery: a case-study

The success of an online learning project depends, to a great extent, on the continuous study and improvement of the major components of the online learning paradigm. One of the major thrusts of online learning is focused on providing activities that shift the control of learning activities from the teacher to the student. Students are the most important stakeholders in any learning environment. Thus, we must know our students well in order to engage them effectively online. We should know their skills in the use of computers, competencies, attitude towards online learning etc. This will help us evaluate how good online learners our students are (Great Basing College, 2003., Extension Online, 2003) and also help us identify and address possible causes of attrition (Frankola) in our courses.
