Success factors of E-learning system based on students' perspectives

Abstract

As a result of Information Technology continuously growing, educators and training developers need not only rethink their approach to teaching and training but also decide how technology can support it. One issue for them is E-learning, also known as distance learning, online learning, web-based learning and so on. However, much of it is quantity research or system implementation. Educators make efforts to discover proper teaching, learning and assessment strategies for their students and MIS researchers are devoted to provide or develop a suitable learning environment for students. But these researchers lack further discussion on both Educational Psychology and technologies. Therefore, the objectives of this paper try to explore student concerns when using an e-learning system from an IQA approach with a qualitative research method. The result showed that Instructional Content Planning and Learning Process Support were Primary Drivers while Learning Interaction was a Primary Outcome. Instructional Resource Arrangement and System Function were Secondary Drivers while On-line Testing and Feedback were Secondary Outcomes. © 2008 IEEE.
