These tools can be incorporated easily into web-based curricula design. Prior to developing a web page, teachers should have adequate computer technology available. Web lesson design faces new challenges of integrating a teacher's classroom personality into the web-based curricula. Students using web-based lessons can not rely on verbal interactions and cues from the teacher to help them interpret their approaches in real time. Web-based curricula must be independent of a teacher's classroom personality.
Backward planning is an effective strategy in the development of web-based curricula.
Through the process of backward planning, a curricula can be designed that will ensure that students acquire the knowledge necessary for building understanding of the concept. In the planning process, teachers first identify the concept they want the students to understand. Once the concept has been identified, teachers then research pertinent information that will solidify their understanding of the concept. This information is then used to identify sub-layers that will enable students to discover information needed to understand the concepts. Brainstorming for appropriate activities is an effective strategy to be included at appropriate times to maximize the learning process.
