N2  - The Internet has prompted educational institutions world wide to de-
liver their distance learning programmes via the Web. Malaysian institutions are
following suit. However, the success of Web-based distance learning pro-
grammes is largely dependent on how well we keep the students sufficiently in-
terested, energized and enthusiastic to complete the degree requirements. There
are techniques that designers and instructors can use to make the virtual learning
environment attractive and meaningful. As such, the virtual learning team at the
International Medical University developed a motivation model based on Hor-
ton?s recommendations for a motivating environment to help sustain the stu-
dents? interest. VENuS (Virtual Education for Nursing Sciences) was developed
not only using the systematic model of instructional design but had also applied
the motivation model. The paper describes the application of the model and
highlights the feedback received on the prototype. (Author's abstract)
