摘要

This research investigates the Internet and e-services context in Jordan by performing a case study on the students of all colleges in Tafila Technical University. Internet services, also called electronic services or e-services, are among the main purposes of the web that utilize information and communication technologies. These services cater to different areas and sectors, especially to university students who are known to access the Internet regularly. The degree of Internet use is affected by three factors, namely, information, user and means by which the information is linked to the end user. The first factor refers to the scientific, commercial, economic, social and other data that can be accessed from the Internet. Tafila Technical University (TTU) students use the Internet to fulfill their personal needs, such as email (81% of the participants own an email account, but only 73% actively use these accounts).
