The increas in demand for the distance learning has created a need to explore the implications of the emerging paradigm shift on the learning environment. To utilize information technology to improve learning processes, the pedagogical assumptions underlying the design of information technology for educational purposes must be understood. However, little theoretical development or empirical research has examined the learning effectiveness in web-based distance learning. Thus, this paper is based on the research area in management communications, education, social psychology, and information systems to develop an conceptual model of influences on web-based distance learning outcomes. It then empirically examine hypotheses using survey data from 138 students of a university. The data support the validity and reliability of the constructs in the study. And the basic hypotheses of this study get partial support. Finally, the implications of this survey results are discussed in terms of learning performance.
