Abstract :
Web-based distance learning has become more popular and convenient, and it provides a flexible environment for learners. However, it is hard for teachers to design the distance course and assess students´ learning. To overcome this drawback, a systematic assessment mechanism is proposed to enhance interaction between students and teachers. The theory-of-concept and influence diagram are combined together as a new courseware diagram with useful tools. Finally, this mechanism can be used easily by instructor and student because of its user-friendly interface, and it transforms the course content to being SCORM (scalable content object reference model) standard compatible.
