ABSTRACT

Web-based learning or training is a contemporary form of distance learning or training that is providing new opportunities for educational institutions and their students as well as for public and private organizations and their employees. Distance learning may be defined as learning that occurs in a different place than teaching, utilizing special aspects of course design, instructional methods, and delivery modalities (Moore & Kearsley, 1996). Kjeldsen, Krogsdal, and Gomme (2003) characterized Web-based learning (WBL) as any learning that uses Web-based content or communication via the Internet focusing on flexibility and the demands of individual learners.
