Modern technological developments lead a change not only ın the social and economic lives of the countries but also in the education policies along with the techniques using in the teaching-learning environments. Distance education, which is carried out apart from the school building concept, is the umbrella term for the techniques used in technological methods in education.

The results showed that there is a difference between the pre and post scores of the two groups. It is also seen that web-based group has higher scores than mobile learning groups when the final scores were compared.
