With the advent of the World Wide Web, the Internet
has evolved into a user-interactive medium capable
of delivering on demand information in high speed.
Research into the various methodologies of Web
educational applications has been a topic of great
interest in the architectural education field. As a course
delivery medium, the Web provides the means for
creating an integrated, interdisciplinary repository of
knowledge available at reasonable cost at anytime,
anywhere and to anyone. One of the criteria of an
ideal system for facilitating Web-based teaching and
learning is to be adaptive. In this paper, we suggest
an adaptive Web-based educational model and
platform for the architectural design course that
supports the main phases of the design process. In
particular, the development of the online version of
an architectural design course is used as a case study
and illustrates the usability of the suggested model.
