Abstract

E-learning is a new approach for teaching and learning using telecommunication technology such as the Internet. Learners can receive knowledge anytime, anywhere. In order to understand the factors influencing learners’ intention to use e-learning systems and the effectiveness using the systems, recent studies designed different learning methods over various learning systems. However, most of the studies focused on the one-way e-learning systems. In such systems, the communications are mainly between learners and instructors. We argued that peer interactions play an important role on e-learning. Using Facebook Groups for School as the e-learning platform, we empirically tested the proposed model. We found that technology quality and interaction with instructor would affect learners’ perceived satisfaction. The interaction with peers and learners’ satisfaction would influence the intention of continuous use of the course Facebook Groups as a learning support.
