E-learning success determinants ; Brazilian empirical study

Cidral, W. A., Oliveira, T., Felice, M. D., & Aparicio, M. (2018). E-learning success determinants: Brazilian empirical study. Computers and Education, 122, 273-299. DOI:10.1016/j.compedu.2017.12.001 ; E-learning is a web-based learning ecosystem for the dissemination of information, communication, and knowledge for education and training. Understanding the impact of e-learning on society, as well as its benefits, is important to link e-learning systems to their success drivers. The aim of this study is to find the determinants of user perceived satisfaction, use, and individual impact of e-learning. This study proposes a theoretical model integrating theories of information systems' satisfaction and success in the e-learning systems. The model was empirically validated in higher education institutions and university centers in Brazil through a quantitative method of structural equation modeling. Collaboration quality, information quality, and user perceived satisfaction explain e-learning use. The drivers of user perceived satisfaction are information quality, system quality, instructor attitude toward e-learning, diversity in assessment, and learner perceived interaction with others. System quality, use, and user perceived satisfaction explain individual impact. ; authorsversion ; published
