Abstract

The objective of the study is to validate online learning experience scale in the Indian context. Further, this study ascertains the impact of online learning experience dimensions on learner satisfaction. The scale has been adopted from existing literature. Data were collected using the online medium. Finally, the analysis was run on one hundred and fifty responses. Respondents responded their experiences on Coursera.org, extended academic content available online for existing universities such as Stanford, MIT, Wolfram Mathematics, archive.org. Exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors of online learning experience scale in the Indian context. These four factors are Pragmatic-Pleasurable Experience, Use-Social Experience, Hedonistic-Exhaustive Experience, and Sociability Experience. The impact of online learner experience dimensions on learner satisfaction has been ascertained using linear regression analysis. The linear regression analysis revealed that dimensions of online learning experience have a positive impact on learners satisfaction.
