ABELLA, Víctor et al. Determining Factors in the Quality, Satisfaction, and Perceived Learning in Electronic Learning Courses Taken by University Professors. RMIE [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.78, pp.733-760. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this research was to determine the influence of pedagogical factors and instructional design, controlled by instructors, on the learning, satisfaction, and quality that participants perceive in electronic learning for training university professors. The participants were 109 university professors. The statistical analysis used partial least squares, PLS. The results showed that rigor and course content predicted satisfaction (R2 = .66) and quality (R2 = .55); while course content, course structure, rigor, teacher/student interaction, and interaction among professors had a significant positive impact on perceived learning (R2 = .70).
