| Abstract | In this study the benefits and considerations related to implementation of "Learning by Design" (LBD) method through a Web-based learning environment were investigated from the instructor`s perspective. LBD is a project based learning approach on the basis of case based reasoning and problem based learning approaches. The case course of the study, Foundations of Distance Education, was given in blended form containing faceto-face sessions and web based instructional activities. The students were assigned to design a course site within LBD approach. The information gathered from the instructor in three different semesters were evaluated and compared. The 2010 and 2011 summer implementations of the course had some differences in technical and administrative level. These modifications were led by the previous experiences from the former implementations of the course. The outcomes of these differences were also investigated. It was emphasized that the project work had as a positive effect on the students’ learning. Taking role in the design of a course with iterative processes was accepted to be effective in learning of the subject. It was also mentioned that this type of LBD implementation required a technical support. It was observed that the instructor has the sole responsibility of maintaining the servers, besides being the instructor. |
