Virtual-U™ is a World Wide Web-based networked learning environment customized for the design, delivery, and enhancement of post-secondary education. One of the main design goals is to provide a flexible framework to support advanced pedagogies based on principles of active learning, collaboration, multiplicity, and knowledge building. The framework consists of tools to support core activities including course design, individual and group learning activities, knowledge structuring, class management, and evaluation. The design of Virtual-U™ builds on lessons learned from a decade of field research in online course delivery. A brief history of that experience is presented to illustrate the motivation behind some of the decisions made in the design of the system. A description of Virtual-U™ and lessons learned from initial experiences with users are reported.
