In this research, a Web-based Formative Assessment System (WBFAS) was developed for students to support their formative assessment on their learning experiences. The system provides students with instant feedback which is detailed based on items and criteria-referenced based on tests. The present research aims to examine students' acceptance of WBFAS. The research was conducted on 381 university students who are enrolled in Computer I course designed with Flipped Classroom model. The implementation of the research lasted 12 weeks, and at the end of each week students participated in WBFAS. The data of the research were obtained with the scale of acceptance of web-based assessment system. It has been found that the structure of acceptance of WBFAS was consisted of elements of computer self-efficacy, ease of use, social influence, perceived content, state of enjoyment, state of interest, perceived usefulness and usage intention. Based on the findings derived from the research, several suggestions were proposed for teachers, instructional designers, decision-makers and researchers regarding the development and use of WBFAS.
