The purpose of this study was to investigate proper website and courseware for e-learning in higher education. Methods used in this study included the data collection, the analysis surveys, the experts' in-depth interview, and the experts' focus group. Results indicated that there were 16 components for website, as well as 16 components for courseware with suggestions for basic design layout to be considered. Based on the findings, results showed that the models were proposed, and the prototypes were created to examine the effectiveness and the learners' satisfaction of the models. The surveys' results of users' usability and their satisfaction showed high level effectiveness of the prototypes, as well as high satisfaction towards the prototypes. Therefore, such models of proper website and courseware for e-learning in higher education should be in consideration as grounded components and basic design layout when design and development of website and courseware for e-learning in higher education.
