Abstract: The usual face-to-face teaching and learning in the department of economics is not enough considering the workload before the lecturers. The workload can be reduced drastically by deploying online instruction as supplement. Hence, the researchers designed and developed an online instruction for economics students. With this online instruction in place, lecturer/admin can add new and/or updated learning materials at anytime. Students on the other hand can learn economics courses at anywhere and at anytime. Each course in the online instruction is accompanied by multiple choice tests where students can test their understanding of the materials covered. Lecturers and students can view students result immediately after the test. In addition, lecturer/admin and course representative can send messages to students. The Online instruction system was implemented using html, PHP, CSS and Javascript web technologies. The developed online instructional system was tested by 12 staff and students of the College. Thereafter, a questionnaire designed to measure user’s satisfaction with the use of the developed system was administered to the staff and students that tested the system. The data collected from the questionnaire was then analyzed. The result of the analysis shows that the respondents are satisfied with the performance of the developed online instructional system. Furthermore, the respondents recommended that the developed online instructional system can be used in the College for teaching and learning of economics courses.
