Abstract :In this study, students’ views on the teaching of microprocessors through Web Based Distance Education (WBDE) using Computer Based Concept Maps (CBCM) were surveyed. Teaching materials were designed in the scope of the study to teach microprocessors to the students. Two questionnaires were administered at the end of the study to survey the students’ views, one consisting of 9 questions concerning features of the CBCM and the other consisting of 11 questions concerning the teaching of CBCM through WBDE. Impacts of the demographic profile (personality characteristics) of the students who took part in the questionnaire were also reviewed. With regards to the features of the CBCM questionnaire, 77% of students replied “Completely agree” and 23% responded “Agree.” As for the CBCM through WDBE questionnaire, 72% of the students replied “Completely agree” and 28% responded “Agree”. ANOVA and t-tests indicated that the demographic variables of the students did not add a significant difference to these results.
