Abstract
We are investigating the factors that could have effect on the learning outcomes of an interactive eLearning tool. Our experiment consisted of participants from undergraduate and postgraduate students spanning across three semesters in a Database Management System course conducted in a blended learning environment. The eLearning tool has a built in data event logger whenever a student used the system to capture the interaction. We analyze the learning outcomes and effectiveness through the captured interactive events with factors such as the students’ course perceptions (CP), evaluation of self-efficacy (SE) beliefs, class attendance, student gender, and academic discipline based on social learning theory. We used analytical path model, t-test and one-way ANOVA to determine the influencing factors directly related to the interactive eLearning tool.
Highlights
This study investigates the learning outcomes of an interactive eLearning tool on the learners and the factors that may have caused the effects
It was conducted with participants over 400 Higher Learning Institution (HLI) students spanning across three semesters in a Database Management Systems course conducted in a blended learning environment
T-test, one-way ANOVA, and the Pearson correlation tested the factors for the gender, academic disciplines, and attendance respectively to check the influence on the GPA outcomes
Summary
This study investigates the learning outcomes of an interactive eLearning tool on the learners and the factors that may have caused the effects. It was conducted with participants over 400 Higher Learning Institution (HLI) students spanning across three semesters in a Database Management Systems course conducted in a blended learning environment. The analysis reveals consistent usage and a higher level of eLearning engagement for above average performance students. These patterns of usage provide key indicators for learning effectiveness. Our results show that SE, tutorial attendance, and academic discipline are mediating factors and have a direct impact on learning effectiveness
