Abstract: This chapter is based on the authors’ vision that “A virtual university should be, to the learner, a distance or online learning environment that can be transmitted via the World Wide Web by an intelligent tool that is intuitive to use, a simulation of the real-world learning experience and, at all stages, interacts with the learner’s changing profile.”

This study aims to develop and evaluate competency-based web learning material (CBWLM) for the college practicum Microprocessor Laboratory. After using the CBWLM for 8 weeks, this study investigates CBWL's learning effects and self-directed learning aptitudes (SDLAs) as well as exploring the influence of SDLA on learning effects based on the sample of 38 students. The results of this study indicate that over half of the students achieve the mastery level after using CBWLM. SDLAs of the mid-CBWL and post-CBWL do not influence learning effects. Research BackgroundCompetency-based learning (CBL), a non-linear, systematic, and self-learning process, allows learners to individually study each unit of the learning material depending on their own competency. Furthermore, it allows learners to perform repeated learning, remedial learning until they master each unit's knowledge and skill in order to achieve required competency standards. CBL possesses the nature of systematic process, mastery learning, emphasizing individual differences and selfdirected learning. Such a learning method stressing competency standards is specifically suitable for technical learning and training. Web learning is an inevitable trend in the future. However, it has a weakness-there are limitations to the presentation and learning methods for technical subjects. If we apply the concept of CBL to web learning, both will complement each other and improve web technical learning effects. As indicated by Lin and Liao (2000), the concept of competencybased learning material (CBLM) can enhance the effect of web learning materials. To sum up the argument mentioned above, it's quite clear that competency-based web learning (CBWL) or competency-based web learning material (CBWLM) ought to

This paper discusses an evaluation study of WISDeM, an interactive Distance Learning Tool. It covers the evaluation rational, details of usability evaluation, designing the evaluation, the objectives and respondents, the study, the raison d'être for the questions asked and basic assumptions, what needed to be evaluated, the execution of the evaluation, its results and conclusions. The evaluation results indicated that Communication Preference and Learning Styles matching between a computer interface and the student user is likely to enhance his/her ability for memory rehearsal, learning and knowledge recall more effectively than without it.
