Abstract: Web-based education makes use of resources from the Web for an educational purpose. In order to produce the effective Web-based educational system, this could engage with problem of high development costs and require the update of study materials if the content of knowledge changes. This paper proposes the system to help learners find study materials as supplementary resources outside the classroom without any help from a teacher. The advantage of this system is that it only requires the appropriate competence structure to be embedded within the system. There is an experimental study to find out an appropriate algorithm to generate the query from the competence structure and to determine if the mean ratings of overall system based on various criterions differ from rating value 3 of a Likert scale (1 to 5). The results show insignificant differences on the mean rating between all algorithms, but the participants significantly satisfy with a system overall. In order to develop and improve our system, further experiments must be conducted.
