A Web based prototype, based on the framework , was also develop ed.rnThe system development steps employed are analysis (analysis of anticipated problems,rnand activities, information need in the distance education, analysis of criticalrncomponents), planning (listing goals, deciding how to perform and prioritizing) andrndesigning the structure of the Web based system. The prototype was developed mainlyrnusing a tool called Visual Inter Dev
