Abstract: The aim of the research is to contribute to the body of knowledge in the area of web-based learning and distance education delivery. The study employed quantitative and survey design and discusses the extent of web-based learning system usage in Ghanaian distance learning institutions. The study sample consisted of three hundred undergraduate students from the University of Education Winneba, Institute of Distance Learning (UEW-IDL). The instrument for the research is a 13 item questionnaire and the data analyzed using the Special Software for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 17). The result showed that, the extent of the Web-based learning system usage at the University of Education Winneba, Institute of Distance Learning is very low. Future studies could focus more specifically on assessing the influence of prior experience (with computers and the Internet) and interest (in the knowledge domain) on the effect of choice.
