Sex Differences and Learners' Autonomy toward E-Learning Based on Surveys in U.K. and Taiwan

Abstract

A questionnaire was designed to investigate attitudes toward e-learning of 102 university students from the United Kingdom and 130 from Taiwan who completed the questionnaire on an intranet. The statistical analyses showed sex differences in users' attitudes toward computers and e-learning. Also, learners' autonomy in use of e-learning was affected by perceived enjoyment of e-learning multimedia, perceived usefulness of e-learning interaction, and quality of e-learning interaction and functions.
