Özet

Although web based learning has many advantages, traditional learning environments are still preferred by some students. Especially, if the students come from the traditional learning environment, they resist on to study in the same way. We also met the similar reactions from the students who had been given a computer course in a web based learning environment. In order to compare students' opinion, qualitative data were collected from web based learners who followed computer education courses in three different learning environments at Ankara University with a matched group of traditional learners in two different period of learning times. As qualitative data the following questions were asked: (1) Do you like the period of learning time and learning method of this course? (2) Do you prefer another course in a same way? (3) Dou you have any contribution from this course? The responds are discussed and compared with each groups.
