This paper describes the work done at the Information Technology teaching section at Sydney Institute of Technology in creating a theoretical model of Internet-based training and a plan for its implementation within a TAFE NSW context.
The model examines what it means to use the Internet as a substitute for the classroom in learning and teaching without sacrificing all the advantages of face-to-face teaching.
The model is discipline independent and is sufficiently general that it is applicable to the support of partial subjects, whole subjects and whole courses taught via the Internet.
The role of educational administration is examined as Internet-based training also provides the potential for learners and teachers to interact with administrative data.
Finally, compelling reasons are given for introducing the new technology.
