Abstract

Web-based Instruction (WBI) has been adopted in many educational systems. However, due to WBI's lack of face-to-face communication existing in a traditional classroom, their effectiveness is minimal. One way to lessen this problem is for these systems to implement a model that provides motivation to students. In this paper, we present a model to support motivation based on constructivism, which is known to be very suitable for WBI. The model is developed according to the four types of interactions: students-teachers, students-students, students-contents, and students-experts. We then describe the implementation of our model and its application to a third-grade science course for demonstration purposes.
