Digital Learning Dynamics: Assessing E-learning Experiences in SOCECON 10 at Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan

Enhancing the delivery of quality learning has consistently remained a prevalent topic within academic institutions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning has become the predominant solution to ensure the continuation of education. This study focused on assessing the e-learning experience of the students in SOCECON 10 – The Contemporary World at Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan by assessing the course’s content, delivery, service, and outcome. A quantitative research design was employed to gather results from the respondents. The survey questionnaire was constructed based on the Demand-Driven Learning Model (DDLM) by MacDonald et al. (2001) and a 4-point Likert scale and was validated using Cronbach’s Alpha. Cochran’s formula was used to obtain the sample size of 251 respondents from a population size of 716 students and simple random sampling in selecting these respondents. Furthermore, mean and standard deviation were the statistical tools used in the study. Overall, the result showed that the students had an excellent e-learning experience in terms of the course’s content, delivery, and service and a good experience in terms of outcome. This study recommends that the institution maintain its e-learning platforms and methodologies based on the positive aspects highlighted in the result. Additionally, improving the areas where students had a good experience, such as outcome, can contribute to an even more enriching learning environment. Other ways include providing additional resources, fostering interactive learning opportunities, and implementing feedback mechanisms to ensure continuous improvement.
