Abstract
E-learning and Desaire2Learn (D2L) system were used in several higher education institutions; the learning satisfaction depends on the quality of the system applied to serve this issue and its importance in users mind. Therefore, this study, intended to explore the degree of students and Satisfaction of faculty members with the importance and quality of e-learning used and D2L system as a tool for learning some courses. We took a sample of 57 faculty members and 135 students participated in this study. We used two questionnaires as a tool to collect data from participants, one for faculty members and the other for students; both of these questionnaires had the same idea with different questions. We implemented Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) to analyze data. The results show that the Satisfaction of faculty members is high with the quality of e-learning and D2L system as a method of teaching, moderate satisfaction with using D2L tools, the result shows there was a positive relationship between e-learning quality and using D2L tools in teaching. But the result record high satisfaction from students towards the quality of e-learning; the D2L system as a method of learning and the result shows there was no statistically significant effect of gender on the D2L system quality. Finally, the study discussed the implications and recommendations of the work.
Highlights
IntroductionThere are many systems used in e-learning and distance education, including the D2L system, which requires training to the use of its tools
E-learning is an interactive distance learning system that provides the learner according to demand and relies on an integrated digital electronic environment, aimed at building and delivering courses through electronic networks, counseling, guidance, organizing tests, managing and evaluating sources and processes [1].Technological development has encouraged the interest of distance education and e-learning to take advantage of its features, where students can attend lectures through smart devices, and this saves time and effort for educational institutions as well as students [2], in addition, to improve the educational product and enhancing quality of the learner [3].There are many systems used in e-learning and distance education, including the D2L system, which requires training to the use of its tools
The results show that respondent was highly satisfied with “internet services” (M=4.20, SD=0.57), and high satisfaction with both “Improving the educational environment” (M=3.96, SD=0.44) & “Training” (M=3.83, SD=0.43) and respondent were highly satisfied with elearning quality where the overall score is (M=3.91, SD=0.34)
Summary
There are many systems used in e-learning and distance education, including the D2L system, which requires training to the use of its tools In this system, there were obstacles, namely the lack of skilled trainers, the weakness of the Internet services, the inability of faculty members to use some tools such as online room, and the inability of students to use some tools, all of which require continuous training, flexibility, technical support, and system quality denotes two sides of the information system itself, such as processing speed, ease of use, necessary requirements, and navigability. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of satisfaction of students and faculty members with distance learning by teaching some online courses using e-learning system D2L, which was used to support traditional teaching method, ready to be widely disseminated, especially on theoretical courses that do not require labs
