Recently, the blended e-learning is implemented in many fields more and more popularly. In this paper, the program of ceramics teaching at the Active Aging University is also applied blended e-learning without exception in order to raise older adult students' behavioural intention and learning satisfaction.

In this study, the questionnaire is designed for 44 older adult students whose ages are all over 55 years old. The teaching experiment of blended e-learning for ceramics teaching course is performed at the Active Aging University in the southern of Taiwan. And the Structural Equation Model (SEM) quantitative analysis is carried out that the conclusions are got with the perceived usefulness of learning contents has positive relationship with learning satisfaction. Also, the perceived ease of use for interfaces has positive relationship with the perceived usefulness of learning contents and learning satisfaction. Therefore, these conclusions could be applied to develop and design for all the blended e-learning programs at the Active Aging University with the best teaching and learning strategy in the future.
