Abstract

This research work aims to identify the determinants of E-learning Effectiveness. This effectiveness is measured through three individual variables: motivation, Individual Effectiveness, and anxiety about technology. The main objective is to enable the various parties involved to better understand the factors influencing E-learning Effectiveness.

The empirical validation of the model was carried out on a sample of 350 learners enrolled in two Tunisian institutions. Empirical validation is provided by factorial analyses and structural equation methods. Based on these analyses, we were able to partially validate the motivation effect, and the computer anxiety on learners’ reactions. Furthermore, we were able to verify the important effect of motivation on learning process.
