چکیده (انگلیسی):

The rush to offer web courses has left many questions as to what makes them effective and
satisfactory. Important issues are: the perceived advantages of web-based courses; appropriate
pedagogical tools (e.g., streaming media, PowerPoint presentations) to facilitate student-content
interaction, media richness, and the influence of antecedent characteristics, such as gender,
experience, motivation, and learning styles. Research here indicates support for media richness,
web-based course advantages, some pedagogies, and minimal support for learning styles, at least
Gardner’s multiple intelligences and Keirsey’s personality styles.
