The results of the research are considered to be significant as they could both help the people responsible for the design of sites and their contents, and form the basis for further usability studies in order to develop online instructional multi-media discussion environments.
The purpose of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of two differing Internet-based CME delivery strategies and the effect of a scheduled delivery format and facilitator-led asynchronous discussion instructional strategy on satisfaction, knowledge and confidence outcomes.

To measure the impact of different instructional cues on student discussion, we separated discussions into two categories: those following reasoning-centered cues (51 discussions), and those following answer-centered cues (32 discussions; Table 1).
