• Online Learning Environment (OLE)
• Key issues in e-learning theories and practice,
  online learning environment, and digital
  contents.
• OLE packages BlackBoard, Learning Space, WebCT
• OLE for design education
• How adaptable these OLE packages are to the need
  of design education remains to be checked.

Methods Action research Approach

• Action research is an umbrella terminology that
  describes deliberate use of any kind of plan,
  act, description and review cycle for inquiry
  into action of a field of practice.
• In education, it is a study conducted by
  colleagues in a school setting of the results of
  their activities to improve instruction.
• In this study, it is used to improve the online
  design course and the ODLE.

Concluding remarks

• This framework may be used to guide development
  and evaluate online design learning environments.
  
• Issues such as interface design, usability and
  page design surfaced in the design of the ODLE
  prototype.
• Future research areas will focus on the
  evaluation of this ODLE, methods, models and
  pedagogies of design studio courses in order to
  provide a guide for development of the ODLE and
  teaching design courses.
