Abstract :
Rapid development in the world of information technology has enabled distance learning to be carried out using web-based modules. The School of Distance Education, USM, has been developing learning via the internet, which allows learning materials to be made accessible to students regardless of time and place. Preliminary assessments showed that students choose to pursue education using online modules compared to the printed modules because the former is more attractive and easier to understand. Furthermore, these online modules are deemed suitable for distance learning and should be developed for all courses.
