The findings were discussed based on the best design factors via-online web learning program, user-friendliness, satisfaction in learning strategies, content satisfaction, learners' ability of understanding the content, motivation, skill and knowledge enhancement and to investigate whether there is any significant differences in the learners' understanding among the beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.
