Abstract :
Computer based education (CBE) applications have enormous potential. Much literature has been published regarding this potential, overcoming technical difficulties and assessing effectiveness. However, a key and often ignored aspect is that CBE applications are unlikely to be effective unless learning theory is incorporated into the design phase. This paper discusses the relevant learning theory and develops a set of guidelines to assist in the design and refinement of effective CBE applications
