E-learning success model for instructors’ satisfactions in perspective of interaction and usability outcomes

E-learning approaches could be handled in a system design view in which the system components and factors have critical roles in order to assure success of whole system. In such an e-learning design view, online instructors (or faculties) have the most critical role as the most important actor. Therefore there is an emerging need for investigating the factors affecting instructors’ performance in e-learning systems. Satisfaction is one of these factors that affect usability of the system which also directly affect instructors’ performance. In this study, factors related to instructors’ satisfaction in e-learning systems have been investigated in order to develop a basic model called “E-Learning Success Model for Instructors’ Satisfactions” which is related to social, intellectual and technical interactions of instructors in whole e-learning system. “E-Learning Success Model for Instructors’ Satisfactions” could be a basic guide for e-learning designers, online instructors and policy makers to understand interaction and usability outcomes related to satisfaction of instructors.
