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.
