Gender differences in students’ e-learning usage outcomes

The importance of studying gender differences in student skills has been demonstrated by the emergence of various results of previous studies that discussed the recommendations for developing learning by considering gender. The question that raised in this study is whether there is a difference between the assessment of male and female students on aspects related to the learning outcomes in the context of e-learning. The main contribution of this study was to provide evidence about matters considered necessary by male and female students towards achieving their learning outcomes. This research is based on a sample of 223 students that registered as e-learning class participants on two different campuses in Indonesia. This study concludes that there are two out of six aspects of learning outcomes that shows the significant difference between the assessment of male and female students: usefulness and course content. These results confirm that there are still gaps between male and female students about the learning outcomes.
