Web-based instruction (WBI) is becoming much more common with the growth of the Internet and available computer networks (Harasim, Hiltz, Teles, & Turoff, 1995). With the rapid expansion of WBI there is a need to examine its effectiveness. This quasi-experimental study compared three delivery models: direct instruction, concept attainment, and small-group discussion. The study found no significant main effects. However, there was a significant interaction effect between delivery model and prior web experience. This indicates that for some learners, certain delivery models may be more effective for web-based environments.
