Abstract
Due to the Corona-19 pandemic, online education has grown worldwide and it is now being predicted that online education will dominate the future of education. This study examines, as characteristics of the human factor, the effect of self-efficacy; as system factors influencing learners' satisfaction with online learning and behavioral intention to use online learning, this study examines perceived social presence and perceived teaching presence. Participating in this study were 236 students who filled out an online survey in return for course credits. Study findings suggest that individuals with high social presence and teaching presence will have higher satisfaction with online learning and higher behavioral intention to use online learning than those with low social presence and teaching presence. The study also found that individuals with high self-efficacy have higher satisfaction with online learning and higher behavioral intention to use online learning than those with low self-efficacy. This study provides theoretical implications as well as practical implications for e-learning educators when it comes to enhancing students' satisfaction with online learning and behavioral intention to use online learning.
