The paper describes in brief initial attempts at using web-based material to link
workplace training with learning in formal educational settings. Web-based learning
material is used as a stimulus to prompt college learners to reflect on their
workplace experiences. This material is interactive so that students are prompted
to think about the topic in hand and make responses, receiving feedback from the
learning material. Discussion tasks, in turn, are embedded in the material so
that learners are required to make explicit links between the learning material,
their workplace experiences and the perspectives they derive from fellow participants
recounting their learning in a web-based e-forum environment. Web delivery in
the particular context of the project combined with the communication tools seems
to be providing an effective way of enhancing workplace learning and plugging
a gap in a teaching delivery system.
