The potential
of the World Wide Web for rapid global communication is driving the
creation of specifically tailored courses for employees, yet few
practitioners have the necessary experience in on-line teaching methods,
or in preparing documents for the web. Experience gained in developing six
online training modules for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry
sectors is informing the development by a partnership of academics and
practitioners of seven online modules that will meet requirements for
continuing professional development in the health sector. This paper
highlights lessons for success.
