This study discusses issues of choosing suitable Virtual Learning Environment, the design and
development of the online course: “Introduction to Computer Science”, accompanied with the results of the
pilot testing of the course. This course is delivered to first year students in the faculty. As in the era of mass
higher education and lifelong learning, online education is becoming more and more popular. E-learning offers
the student more flexibility and freedom in time and space of learning. Embedding E-learning in existing
educational systems poses important issues for institutions. Offering the students an online course that is
designed and developed properly to suit various levels of students, and cater to various personal capabilities
is a very difficult matter taken into consideration that the tutor and the students can only meet virtually. Quality
of course design, use of appropriate tools and the context in w hich learning takes place are prime factors
affecting success of online education.
