The Hellenic Navy is looking to implement new ways of educating its personnel. Continuous training is a key to improve the performance of the personnel. Increased operational tasks are preventing participation of a large portion of active military personnel in traditional classroom seminars and courses. Distance learning is a solution, which eliminates the need for the physical presence of a student in a classroom. New means of communication such as computer networks can deliver a large amount of information practically to any place in the world. Those against distance learning methods, claim that the quality of distance learning courses is not equivalent to that of a traditionally taught course. In our work we taught the same course both in a classroom and on the Web. We compared the performance of the students in classroom to those taking the course online. Specific design principals were used for the Web site in order to achieve the best interface to deliver the course material.
