Based on a significant need for categorizing the various components available for use in Web-based instruction, the authors have developed a hierarchical framework for describing the instructional activities common with this form of instruction. This framework includes six levels ranging from simple information delivery to immersive collaborative environments and includes the general instructional perspective, Web/Internet activities, and specific examples of Web-based components and tools for each level. It is hoped that this framework will help instructional designers, developers, teachers and trainers in their use of this powerful new instructional tool.Abstract français: Fondé sur un besoin évident de caté-goriser les diverses composantes utilisées dans l'instruction à base de Web, les auteurs ont mis au point un cadre hiér-archisé pour décrire les activitiés d'instruction communes à cette forme d'enseignement.
