Abstract

There is increasing international usage of the World Wide Web for course delivery. The current South African education system is still structured as a legacy of the apartheid system. The South African government currently promotes the uses of technology to enhance access to education and to foster resource-based learning. The authors report findings of a survey of Web-based course delivery at South African tertiary institutions, including problems being experienced by academics in adopting Web-based techniques.
