Abstract Text:E-packs can be used to save instructors time in developing and designing a web course. E-packs are good sources for students and allow instructors to focus more on pedagogy. The purpose of this paper is to give the instructor guidelines in developing and implementing a web course. By using e-packs, the instructor can ensure congruence between objectives, instruction and evaluation. This can aid in reducing anxiety in the implementation and design of a course. Instructors can concentrate on the delivery of a web course instead of the instructional design process. The process of developing a web course usually increases the desire not to create a web course. However, with the help of e-packs, templates and guidelines instructors can easily create a course that can be beneficial to both the student and the instructor.
