The Virtual University, Pakistan’s first University based completely on modern Information and Communication Technologies, was established by the Government as a public sector, not-for-profit institution with a clear mission: to provide extremely affordable world class education to aspiring students all over the country.

Using free-to-air satellite television broadcasts and the Internet, the Virtual University allows students to follow its rigorous programs regardless of their physical locations. It thus aims at alleviating the lack of capacity in the existing universities while simultaneously tackling the acute shortage of qualified professors in the country. By identifying the top Professors of the country, regardless of their institutional affiliations, and requesting them to develop and deliver hand-crafted courses, the Virtual University aims at providing the very best courses to not only its own students but also to students of all other universities in the country.

Being the part of 21st century, where the world is just a single click away because of websites, however, surfing website usability is the main concern. In a digital world, websites have their own influence in different occupations.

Human Computer Interaction has been playing its role in this regard by facilitating the user without any discrimination. Different usability, accessibility, and learn ability evaluation methods have already been developed, all with their own strengths and limitations. This research work anticipates by analyzing weaknesses in already developed methods and proposes a new technique with extended competencies. Online learning management system, of different educational institutions will be used as case studies in research work. Feedback and surveys will be filled by the users for validation of research work. An automatic website testing tool will be developed during the thesis to evaluate websites to prove that proposed approach is better than previous approaches.
