Abstract
E-learning has become an important part of contemporary educational process. Satisfaction with e-learning quality was studied among 133 Bulgarian participants in an online survey, of which more than the half took part is some e-learning courses. The results indicated that the learners for whom e-learning was a part of their education at school or university tended to do more online courses and were more satisfied with e-learning quality, so traditional education seemed to support e-learning. The participants who had been enrolled in some online courses, who had their own Internet site and who were satisfied with e-learning quality were more self-confident in their ability of developing an online course. Satisfaction with e-learning prevailed in the sample, because approximately one out of ten participants stated firmly not being satisfied with e-learning quality and four out of five participants would like to use e-learning as a part of their further education. More male participants were satisfied with e-leaning quality than the female participants in support of some previous findings concerning higher life satisfaction in men than in women. Satisfaction with e-learning could be considered as a domain-specific satisfaction that is a part of overall life satisfaction. Keywords: gender differences in satisfaction, e-learning quality, satisfaction with e-learning.Keywords
