Abstract
Web-based instruction is this century’s most-talked about educational and training media. In an attempt to actualize the power of this tool, organizations are experimenting with innovative methods to improve their learning processes (Yoo, Kanawattanachai, & Citurs, 2002). The resulting courses offered over corporate and educational Intranets also called Webbased instruction or WBI present what can be a cost-effective alternative to face-to-face training (Fornaciari, Forte, & Mathews, 1999; Phillips, Phillips, Duresky, & Gaudet, 2002; Roberts, 1998).
