Abstract: When students at the secondary school level miss school for any length of time due to illness or other temporary physical disability, they often have much work to complete upon their return. It can be very difficult for the students to complete this work; therefore many school districts provide services for homebound students. Using a development research approach, this study identifies computer-based technologies that can be used to provide appropriate instruction to homebound secondary school students by considering the academic and social activities first. Principle features of an instructional module incorporating distance education technologies to deliver appropriate instruction are identified. Design resolutions are additive in nature whereby a transactive resolution includes all the functionality of reactive and proactive resolutions which incorporate the academic and social features for quality learning experiences.
