Abstract

This paper discusses the evaluation of a virtual university facility in Lebanon (VUSIL). The system was designed to provide lifelong learning opportunities based on the potential of the Internet and the World Wide Web to deliver distance education. This paper briefly describes the background of our system and gives a more detailed account of its evaluation. Results from the evaluation are divided into four parts: analysis of questionnaire data, analysis of learning, use of the system and correlation between learning and system use. Overall, the results support the hypothesis that the availability of a digital university system is both an acceptable and an effective way of supporting learning activities for lifelong learners (in Lebanon).
