Key Points

To assess the learning experiences, academic performance, commitment, and satisfaction of postgraduate students participating in a self-directed, active online learning environment.
Conducted a pragmatic descriptive study utilizing purposive sampling with 287 postgraduate students.
Compared a newly developed guided, self-directed active online learning format against traditional passive, pre-recorded lectures.
Assessed changes in student commitment, academic performance, and overall course satisfaction.
Student satisfaction increased significantly following the implementation of the active online learning environment.
Student performance and commitment did not improve relative to passive pre-recorded lectures, potentially reflecting the heightened cognitive load of remote active formats.
