To realize the full potential of MOOC, we need to understand the factors influencing MOOC success. In this study a theoretical framework has been proposed by integrating a self-regulated learning theory and DeLone and McLean success model to investigate the determinants of successful MOOC. This study aimed to (1) examine the relationships between quality factors and satisfaction; self-regulated learning and (2) understand the role of satisfaction as a mediator of the quality factors /self-regulated learning relationships. Six hundred twenty-two structured questionnaires collected from undergraduate students in Malaysia. The subsequent analysis employing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed three main results: first, system quality has a positive impact on satisfaction; second, satisfaction and service quality have a positive impact on self-regulated learning; finally, system quality has an indirect effect on SRL via satisfaction. The findings provide by the study will guide MOOC designer and developer to formulate methods and strategies that could further improve the adoption of MOOC successfully.

The evident importance of e-learning in higher education has resulted in a prenominal increase in the number of e-learning systems delivering various forms of services, especially when traditional education (face-to-face) was suddenly forced to move online due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Accordingly, assessing e-learning systems is pivotal in the interest of effective use and successful implementation. By relying on the related literature review, an extensive model is developed by integrating the information system success model (ISSM) and the technology acceptance model (TAM) to illustrate key factors that influence the success of e-learning systems. Based on the proposed model, theory-based hypotheses are tested through structural equation modeling employing empirical data gathered through a survey questionnaire of 537 students from three private universities in Jordan. The findings demonstrate th...

Further, this study ascertains the influence of MOOC success factors on learner satisfaction. Based on an elaborate literature study, six factors related to MOOC success were derived: (1) system quality, (2) information quality, (3) service quality, (4) attitude, (5) course quality, and (6) satisfaction. The data were collected from 1000 undergraduate students from 5 public universities in Malaysia with a return of 622 responses. The instrument was tested in several ways: (a) review the literature, (b) formulating hypotheses (c) items generation, (d) expert opinion, and (e) pilot test. Thereafter, the scale’s reliability and validity were calculated, which appeared to be excellent. The results of the principal component analysis (PCA) empirically confirmed that the MOOC success scale with six factors and 33 items is strong enough to recommend its use in MOOC settings. Further, the finding of the predictive validity indicated that system quality, attitude, and course quality appeared to predict satisfaction toward MOOC. The instrument can be used by academicians, practitioners, and policymakers to monitor the MOOC success factors. Further research would be needed to generalize this research to other populations.

Additionally, the study aims to determine the major influential factors with regard to SMU in student learning settings as a means of enhancing their performance. To achieve these objectives, drawing on the literature related to SMU in higher education settings, a research model has been developed. Background: Social media platforms have led to a significant transformation with regard to the communication landscape in higher education in terms of offering enhanced learning and improved teaching experience. Nevertheless, little is known, particularly in developing countries such as Jordan, as to whether or not the use of such platforms by students in higher education increases the perceptions of their academic performance. Therefore, this study has developed a model to ...

A 15 item, five-point Likertscale instrument was administered to 345 secondary school students, and data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-Structured Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Findings revealed that there were significant relationships between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and student attitude toward the use of an online mathematics homework tool. The findings also indicated a positive relationship between student attitudes and their actual use of online homework. Additionally, performance expectancy was found to be the best factor for predicting student attitude toward the use of online homework. The outcomes of this study will enable educators to design...

Learners with high self-regulated learning are more independent in regulating their learning and have a greater probability of success in their online courses. This study identifies factors that influence self-regulated learning and determines relationships between these factors and self-regulated learning. A conceptual model is proposed for combining success factors for self-regulated learning in a MOOC environment. A research instrument based on the model was designed and administered to six hundred and twenty-two MOOC students enrolled in five universities. Relationships between relevant factors and self-regulated learning were examined using a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique, and the statistical findings revealed that ...

The evident importance of e-learning in higher education has resulted in a prenominal increase
in the number of e-learning systems delivering various forms of services, especially when traditional education (face-to-face) was suddenly forced to move online due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Accordingly, assessing e-learning systems is pivotal in the interest of effective use and successful
implementation. By relying on the related literature review, an extensive model is developed by
integrating the information system success model (ISSM) and the technology acceptance model
(TAM) to illustrate key factors that influence the success of e-learning systems. Based on the proposed
model, theory-based hypotheses are tested through structural equation modeling employing empirical data gathered through a survey questionnaire of 537 students from three private universities in
Jordan. The findings demonstrate that quality factors, including instructor, technical system, support
service, educational systems, and course content quality, have a direct positive influence on students’
satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and system use. Moreover, self-regulated learning negatively
affects students’ satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and system use. Students’ satisfaction, perceived
usefulness, and system use are key predictors of their academic performance. These findings provide
e-learning stakeholders with important implications that guarantee the effective, successful use of
e-learning that positively affects students’ learning.

However, rare studies are available on how to examine the quality antecedents in the MOOC context. Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of quality antecedents on satisfaction toward MOOC. This study is mainly quantitative, adopted the D&M IS Success Model to examine the relationships between quality antecedents (i.e. system quality, information quality, service quality) and satisfaction toward MOOC. An online survey method was used to collect data from 1000 undergraduate students from five universities in Malaysia; 622 questionnaires were returned for a response rate of 62.2 percent. The questionnaire comprised of two parts. Part1 collected the demographic data, part2 elicited data related to satisfaction and quality antecedents. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results partially supported the effect of the quality antecedents on learner satisfaction toward MOOC. There was full support for the relationship between system quality and learner satisfaction toward MOOC. The findings provided by the study have significant practical and theoretical implications about the implementation of MOOC successfully.
