Developing a collaborative e-learning system based on users' perceptions

The present study is to investigate learners' perceptions toward a collaborative e-learning system. First, this study provides considerations of designing a collaborative e-learning environment. After that, the implementation of a collaborative e-learning system will be discussed. Furthermore, this study investigates 68 students' perceptions toward the collaborative e-learning system. The results of factor analysis show that the five users' perception factors are: environmental characteristics, environmental satisfaction, collaboration activities, learners' characteristics, and environment acceptance. The results also indicate that these five factors should be considered at the same time when developing a collaborative e-learning system.
