ABSTRACT
This study aims to understand how self-regulation can improve perceived e-learning outcomes. We build on social cognitive theory to explore the antecedents and consequences of self-regulation. Self-regulation is captured as IT mindfulness and self-regulated learning. The proposed hypotheses are largely supported, showing that self-regulated learning affects perceived e-learning outcomes and is influenced by IT mindfulness and its antecedents, in terms of individual and contextual factors. This study collected questionnaire data from an e-learning system of university (i.e. Zuvio). This system provides both learning and social interaction features. This study provides a systematic analysis of self-regulation, which integrates social cognitive theory and the monitoring and controlling aspect to analyse how e-learners improve outcomes through self-regulation.
