Sc. This dissertation focuses on Web based distance learning management systems and the investigation into the potential use of such a system by the World Maritime University. It starts with an overview of the current state of distance learning, its methodologies, the impact of evolution in technology up to the Internet/World Wide Web. The reasons for and the barriers to the development of Web based distance learning are identified before discussing the areas of the challenges to the WMU’s academic standing requiring increasing goals and activities. The technological requirements for hosting or using a Web based learning environment are identified and explained. Also, the pedagogical principles such as learner-centred approach, constructivism theory of education, and interactive learning tasks, on which online course design depends are discussed. Through the examination and comparison of three of the widely used Web based course management systems, the research presents a detail analysis of the technological features required for creating interactive learning opportunities through a Web based distance learning management system. A working model of a Web based course was developed on one of the examined Web based learning platforms and the trial operations using a test group of WMU staff and students was monitored and evaluated. The analyses of the examination of the three Web education systems, the trial operations results, and the questionnaire responses received from both staff and students are used to identify the strengths and limitations of Web based distance learning management systems. Based on this knowledge, conclusions are drawn and appropriate iv recommendations are made concerning the potential use of a Web based distance learning management system by the World Maritime University.
