Exploratory Study on Learners' Experience in an eLearning System

摘要

As part of a longitudinal analysis of user experience in an eLearning system, this paper reports on an exploratory study that investigated the relationship between patterns of usage and measures of student outcomes. The data was collected over a semester of an undergraduate and postgraduate course on Information Systems of 135 students working in a blended learning environment. A survey was also conducted at the end of the semester to measure the students' perceptions and evaluation of self-efficacy. The data indicates that there are some consistent usage patterns and higher levels of eLearning system engagement for higher than average performing students. Outcomes of the study have also been analyzed to provide insights into features of eLearning systems that can potentially contribute to improved learning outcomes.
