Abstract

The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the experiences of instructional designers at the post-secondary level who are designing for Web-based learning (WBL). Five case studies were considered from the perspectives of work environment, roles and responsibilities, successes and challenges and the designers’ reflections on their experiences. The composite of the five designers that emerged from cross-case comparisons was one of the designer of WBL as a team player and collaborator; project manager, leader, and supervisor; agent of change; specialist and expert; researcher; trainer, instructor, and consultant; course, curriculum, and program developer, and course and program evaluator. Implications for practice and research are presented.
