This document contains three papers from a symposium on online learning that was conducted as part of a conference on human resource development (HRD). "An Instructional Strategy Framework for Online Learning Environments" (Scott D. Johnson, Steven R. Aragon) discusses the pitfalls of modeling online courses after traditional instruction instead of incorporating a design that takes advantage of the unique capabilities of web-based learning environments and presents a conceptual framework to guide the development of online courses that includes specific, detailed examples of instructional strategies that fit the framework. "Using Online Learning to Meet Workforce Demand: A Case Study of Stakeholder Influence" (Angela Benson) investigates how stakeholder interests influenced one large southeastern state's efforts to provide online, undergraduate degree programs to meet workforce needs and demonstrates how the negotiation of consenting and conflicting stakeholder group interests resulted in the prevailing of the interests of some stakeholder groups at the expense of the interests of others. "Models for Human Resource Development Online Programs" (Phoebe E. Lenear, Scott D. Johnson) examined the student support services, educational technologies, and program models used to deliver and support online HRD programs in six higher education institutions across the United States. The first and second papers contain substantial bibliographies. (MN)
