Abstract

Distance education (DE) is proliferating with no signs of slowing down. This paper aims to fill the gap of lacking literature by providing instructional details of teaching a Web development course in the format of asynchronous DE and offering practical instructional strategies. The unique contribution of this paper lies in exemplifying the online delivery of a highly technical course that has been traditionally taught in face-to-face settings, as well as the application of problem-based learning (PBL) methods to DE.
