%T E-learners' satisfaction as predictors of online classroom community %A Lin, Xi %A Dai, Yan %A Shi, Hui %A Li, Chunmei %J Journal of Contemporary Education Theory & Research %N 2 %P 12-19 %V 4 %D 2020 %K distance learning; sense of community %@ 2654-0274 %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-70470-3 %X Purpose: This study investigates Chinese college students' satisfaction with using e-learning systems and its influences on their sense of online classroom community in synchronous, asynchronous, or a blend of both synchronous and asynchronous online course format during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A total number of 307 college students were recruited with 270 usable responses from a southeastern university in China. E-learner satisfaction measurement and Classroom Community Scale (both with a 5-point Likert-type scale) were used as the instruments to investigate the research questions. Descriptive statistical analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted in SPSS. Results: Results of the analysis show that Chinese college students' satisfaction of using the e-learning system regarding the learner interface, learning community, content, and personalization positively impacts their sense of online classroom community no matter in synchronous, asynchronous, or a blend of both synchronous and asynchronous online course format. Implications: A well-developed e-learning system would enhance students' sense of online classroom community. Specifically, the user interface, interaction, content arrangement, and personalization should be focused on when developing the e-learning system. %C MISC %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
