Abstract
Distance education or distance learning is a process that provides
access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated
by time and distance. It is a field of education that focuses on the involvement
of technology and the social aspect, while delivering knowledge and training
to students over distance. This study focuses on the social aspect regarding
learner–content interaction in distance learning models, evaluates several
learning managements systems while investigating the relations among
different variables which impact the degree of students’ learning experiences.
A survey among students in different universities was conducted, Structural
Equation Model (SEM) was created and analysed with Confirmatory Factor
Analysis (CFA), for better understanding of the factors which predicts student
satisfaction from such learning environments. Research findings illustrate the
relationship among usability, adaptability of the system and students’
experience. Limitations to the research and recommendations for future
research are also being discussed.
