1. Introduction to Web-Based Instruction Lesson 6

2. Learning Outcomes: Explain the pedagogical principles behind the development of web-based instruction Identify and differentiate the three (3) categories of web-based instruction. Relate the instructional value of Web-based instruction in promoting non-formal education and in functional literacy programs. 2

3. Introduction The discovery of World Wide Web in 1993, gave rise to the development of Web-Based Instruction. When you think of Web-based Instruction, you outright create a mental picture of the Web as the source, or the medium used to deliver instruction. You can also think of Web-based instruction to connote time and distance in learning. Lesson 6 introduces Web-based instruction, its brief historical developments and the various categories and teaching approaches. It covers the similarities and differences of traditional instruction with Web-based instruction. 3

4. Definition of Web-based Instruction The Web-based instruction or the WBI is defined as a “hypermedia based instructional program which utilizes the attributes and resources of the World Wide Web to create a meaningful learning environment where learning is fostered and supported” (Khan, 1997) According to Lebow (1993), and Perkins (1991), Web-based instruction or WBI is defined as the application of a repertoire of cognitively-oriented instructional strategies implemented within a constructivist and collaborative learning environment, utilizing the attributes and resources of the World Wide Web. 4

5. Definition of Web-based Instruction 5 Distance education is one form of web-based instruction that makes use of web resources. The concept of distance learning, however, is not new in the educational arena. Historically, it started with the use of correspondence, use of audio and video technology, use of television satellites and finally the internet and the World Wide Web. As distance learning continues to evolve, so are the factors that define it. Zvacek (2004) identifies the following components of distance learning: Physical distance that separates the teacher and learners; Use of mechanical or electronic means to deliver content; Interaction between teachers and students; and The influence of a formal educational organization that outlines the roles of the participants, expectations and expected outcomes.

6. Categories of Web-based Instruction AUGMENTED ONLINE LEARNING 6 BLENDED LEARNING There are several broad categories of web-based instruction. Siemens and Tittenberger (2009) cited three broad categories of web-based instructional programs; namely augmented , blended (distributed and hybrid), and online (distance).

7. Categories of Web-based Instruction 7 AUGMENTED The term augmented came from the root word “augment” which means to improve, expand, to amplify and increase . Hence, in the augmented category, web-based instruction is used to extend the physical classroom in order to supplement face-to-face instruction.

8. Categories of Web-based Instruction 8 BLENDED LEARNING You must have heard or encountered in your readings, concepts such as distributed learning, e-learning, hybrid learning and the like. Blended learning is an instructional method of delivery that combines web-based instruction with face-to-face classroom instruction.

9. Categories of Web-based Instruction 9 ONLINE LEARNING In online or distance learning category, learning takes place in asynchronous and in synchronous communication. Online learning is commonly accepted by adult learners as this instructional method offers flexibility in time and space.

10. Benefits of Web-based Instruction The turn of the 21 st Century saw the fast development in Information Communication Technology (ICT). The internet and the web are seen as communication channels that outshine all forms of communication media. These phenomenal growth and development have challenged educational institutions here and abroad to transform their educational practices to address the ever-growing demand of the digital learners. Today, many educational institutions and organizations are taking advantage of the benefits offered by web-based instruction. Thus web-based instruction continues to gain popularity and worldwide acceptance. 10

11. Benefits of Web-based Instruction Several studies were conducted to investigate the educational value and benefits of web-based instruction or the WBI. Some scholars and researchers cited the following benefits and advantages of web-based instruction: 11 Unparalleled access to instructional resources; Improvement in learning outcomes (Fletcher, 2001); Offers engaging and interactive learning experiences that are open, flexible and distributed (Kahn, 2001); Can be conveniently modified and redistributed, readily accessed, and quickly linked to related sources of knowledge, thus establishing a backbone for “anytime, anywhere” learning (Fletcher & Dodds, 2001); Support management of large class; Allows interactions between faculty and students through email, resource sharing, and collaboration; Offers a learner-driven collaborative learning environment; and Cost effective

12. Web-based instruction has long been adopted in training and in other industry-based organizations. E-banking started in early 90’s and the practice became widely accepted. The following are some web-based application programs used in business and industries. 12 Application of WBI in Training and in Industry-Based Organizations

13. Application of WBI in Training and in Industry-Based Organizations 13 Prodmode is a modern full-featured, cloud-based ERP system dedicated to the apparel and fashion industry. Prodmode offers a better experience. It increases productivity and greatly reduces error. Push the boundaries of business and get the tools one needs to succeed. Apparel companies use Promode in their production processes, inventory management, merchandising and sales campaigns by having mobile accessibility and streamlined data.

14. Application of WBI in Training and in Industry-Based Organizations 14 The Elastic solution is another Web-based program that features a Digital/Custom Catalog Builder, Online Order Entry with live ATS and ERP integration, Orde Visual Assortment Planning and White Boarding tools. It also leverages the Marketing Assets to make it feel like your B2C (Business-to-Client) site (Elastic Suite, n.d.). Today content providers in training organizations deliver online training programs. Human Resource Management organizations use blended learning to deliver their professional development programs. The primary objective of using blended learning is to cut cost on travel expenses and optimize productivity time of their employees.
