  • Abstract
    The focus of This work is about the design of a virtual learning space for engineering educational activities as a Web-enabled strategy. It discusses the design of hypermedia systems in its own unity of concept and design modeling for learner-beneficial support by the user interface, in order to achieve a corresponding design for learning activities, which enhances the individual motivation and the performance, and serves communication between author and learner most advantageously. In relation to these explanations, The work presents a learning design model, including techniques, to optimize learning facilities by improving interaction and flexibility in a virtual learning space.
