Abstract: An interactive open-channel hydraulics course on the Internet is presented. This course, currently under development, is designed to be used for self-learning in an open and distance learning context. The purpose of this experimentation is to explore new ways of teaching, taking benefit of the interactive and multimedia capabilities of the Internet. However, the developers are aware of some limitation, among all, the student's feeling of insecurity when studying in a self-learning context. Two phases of evaluation in real conditions are reported and an evolution is outlined.
