This study is aimed at determining the impact that web-based middleware systems can imprint in enhancing learning and assessment. Representative samples of students attending introductory computer classes at the Technikon, were assessed to determine the level of their knowledge and use of the Internet. Very few of them demonstrate high Internet knowledge and awareness. Over 80% indicate willingness to surf the web more, if there is a compelling situation that forces or encourages them. One group of students, were given assignments and tests throughout the semester via the on-line system developed, and were subsequently reassessed at the end of the semester. The result showed dramatic improvement in the level of their knowledge and use of the Internet as well as increased speed of carrying out assigned tasks on the Internet. The study concludes there is a huge impact that web-based middleware can imprint in enhancing learning even in contact institutions.
