Abstract A project was conducted to investigate WWW courseware for a variety of applications to support a university engineering degree program. The overall results in terms of learning effectiveness, teaching efficiency, and distance education are discussed, as are lessons learned relating to development considerations and methodologies. An approach of assessing and comparing the various learning elements of both traditional and on‐line course delivery is presented. Three cases of development modules are then described, spanning general course support, on‐line instruction, and laboratory support. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 9: 63–77, 2001
