Abstract

Background and Aim: In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, online learning platforms, such as the Chaoxing Learning Platform, have gained substantial attention. Recognizing the pivotal role of student satisfaction in the effectiveness of these platforms, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing college students' satisfaction specifically within the context of Beihai Vocational College.
Materials and Methods: This study employed a purposive sampling method, selecting 150 respondents from Beihai Vocational College who met the research objectives to ensure the representativeness and credibility of the survey results. Quantitative research methods were applied, utilizing measurement tools in various aspects, including system quality, information quality, interaction, perceived usefulness, and student satisfaction. Results of Cronbach’s Alpha of the research instruments show that the alpha coefficient of information quality and interaction is within the range of 0.8 to <0.9， and the alpha coefficient of system quality, perceived usefulness, and student satisfaction is within the range of 0.9. The level of Cronbach’s alpha in the variables is within very good to excellent level. This indicated the acceptable level of internal consistency of the research instrument, which confirmed the reliability of the research instrument. Ultimately, methods such as descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis were used to conduct in-depth data analysis, aiming to comprehensively understand the impact of the Chaoxing learning platform on student satisfaction.

Results: The results of the study showed that the independent variables system quality (β = 0.1465, P = 0.287), information quality (β = 0.3602, P = 0.016), and perceived usefulness (β = 0.5478, P = 0.005) were significantly positively correlated. In addition, the test also found that interaction (β = -0.0430, P = 0.084) did not have a significant effect on students' satisfaction with the Chaoxing Learning Platform at Beihai Vocational College.

Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that most of the students of Beihai Vocational College are satisfied with using the Chaoxing Learning Platform for learning, and students can learn, communicate, and collaborate well through this platform, which provides satisfactory learning results.
