Jalila Ms Zouhair, Prince Sultan University, Saudi Arabia

Abstract
The aims of this paper are to report the perceptions of both undergraduate students and the instructor when JUSUR, a web based Learning Management System, is used to supplement the teaching inside and outside the classroom during one academic subject; and to compare the experience of the instructor who had previously taught the same course using a course website to support traditional face-to-face methods with interactive web-based technology. Qualitative online evaluation at the end of the course in which the JUSUR component was employed show that students have positive attitudes about web-based learning management system. This paper discusses the pros and cons of integrating JUSUR into a course and identifies factors that other Instructors may consider before using such an e-learning tool.
