Although course websites are prevalent in many disciplines, only few studies have investigated students’ perceptions of these websites. This study investigated the perception of students of an interactive website designed on the PBWORKS platform for an Information Storage and Retrieval course at the School of Information and Communication Studies, University of Ghana. The main objectives of the study were to examine students’ use of the website, their computer literacy skills, mode of accessing the website, problems encountered in using the website and their instructional preferences. The survey methodology was used for the study and 37 students participated in the study. The findings showed that students had intermediate computer literacy skills, used the websites frequently, were generally satisfied with the contents which include course outline, lesson notes, assignments, class project instructions, announcements, links to relevant websites, course readings etc, and liked the fact that they could post messages on the website. They accessed the website mostly from home using their laptops and mobile phones. The problems they encountered in using the website include unstable Internet access, power outages, and initial registration with PBWORKS. The study has implications for application of technology in tertiary education that is, use of free wikis to enhance face-to-face instructionenmethodologyface-to-face-instructionInternetcourse websitestechnologyArticle
