This study explored students' preconceptions of Web-based learning and evaluated the change in students' attitudes after training. The results suggest that educational designers should not assume that students are confident and competent in applying these technologies to professional educational activities. By identifying students' needs before implementation, training sessions can be designed to target these needs, and improve the understanding of RO-CBL and how it works in practice. This may reduce resistance to change, enhance students' satisfaction, and ultimately improve the learning experience.
