Abstract

This paper reports the research of the empirical evaluation of e-learning usability attributes towards motivation to learn among Open University Malaysia (OUM) learners. Factors such as learners' diversity, technological variety and learners’ knowledge gap in using e-learning are some of the significant universal usability challenges need to be considered when conducting the e-learning usability evaluation. Pedagogical usability also need to be considered while developing e-learning application. Traditional usability measures of effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction and cognitive learning factors are no longer adequate for newer contexts of e-learning usage. It is critical that e-learning developers assess affective dimension, in which the learners may experience while interacting with e-learning. To this end, motivation to learn, which is one of the affective aspect, has been identified as a new usability measurement. A theoretical framework has been developed to investigate the relationship between e-learning usability attributes and learning motivation.
