Abstract

This project is sponsored by the TAFE NSW Professional Development Network, TAFE NSW Educational Services Division and the North Coast Institute of TAFE to establish a presence in the rapidly growing globalised online education market. The project started in March 2000 and the first E-commerce course will be available Semester 2, 2000.

The project will develop a suite of centrally developed instructional content to be delivered from a web site and allow for intensive computer mediated communication between teacher and learner.

This project will encourage collaborative teamwork between a variety of sections and campuses and other organisations that has not occurred before.

The presentation will examine the basic architecture of the course site. After this we will display the main features using the prototype.
