Therefore, this study is concerned with the learning performance of elementary students using web-based instruction. Streaming Media technology and ASP program were used to create an interactive instructional system. 34 fifth grader participated in the study. They were divided into two groups. One group received WBI for eight weeks, while the other group received traditional classroom instruction at the same time. During the period of time, five tests were taken to find out their learning performances.
