Abstract
Recent advancements in computer and Internet technologies enable universities to implement cost-effective Web-Based Instruction (WBI) and to provide open learning environments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This research first synthesised several general WBI design and development guidance systems. Next, the formative research methodology was used to improve that synthesis. A case was chosen for this study, the context being the teaching of music fundamentals at the pre-college level. Efforts were made to identify which guidelines were or were not useful in this case and which guidelines might be beneficial to modify, delete or add in this context. Both on-site and online interviews, observations and document analyses were conducted with all developers involved in this WBI project. As a result of this study, the synthesised general WBI design and development guidance system was revised for best fit with this case.
