Özet

In many different literatures mentioned that web based learning provides many advantages for students, instructors and learning systems. As Collins (2000) pointed out that the web based learning environment provides both teachers and students with numerous learning opportunities by allowing students to learn and develop at their own pace; enhancing writing and communication skills; developing higher-order problem-solving skills; and nurturing critical reflection. On the other hand, in their web based learning applications both students and instructors have some difficulties or problems that are opposed to the literature. The purpose of this study was to determine students' perceptions of the delivery system for web at the Ankara University. Most of the students had negative perceptions about their experiences in computer literacy course as a distance education. Although there is a blended learning, they still prefer communicate with instructors in the classroom.
