In literature, there have been many e-learning artefacts developed and promoted based on their ability to enhance learning and e-learner experience. However, there is lack of a precise definition of e-learner experience in literature. This paper discusses e-learner experience model along with its roots in: (i) e-learning domain research and (ii) user experience/usability. It also proposes a definition for the e-learner experience model based on the particularities of e-learning. The proposed e-learner experience model has been derived by performing state of the art literature review. The proposed model consists of different constructs and this paper presents analysis of these constructs to measure their effectiveness and evaluating e-learner experience in an e-learning environment. Preliminary assessment of the proposed model indicates promising results to be further investigated as future work.
Keywords: e-learner experience, e-learning evaluation, learner modelling, user experience, usability, Technology-Enhanced Learning/e-learning.
