Abstract
This paper concerns the teaching and learning methods, together with the tools utilised, in the third year undergraduate unit, Web Commerce Development, in the e-Business major at Edith Cowan University, Australia. The unit is relatively technical compared to other units within the major and it has the aim is to expose students to e-Business technologies so that they gain an awareness of where and when to use those technologies. Many students are not "IT" students and find the unit demanding. A task-based learning approach has been adopted in the unit and an on-line evaluation of the unit was undertaken. The findings indicated that students found the task-based approach and the collaboration that took place in the groups both enjoyable and helpful in their learning.
