Abstract
This study aims to examine the determinants of the student experience in distance learning (DL) at an Algerian university using a quantitative approach based on a survey of 78 students at Hassiba Benbouali University of Chlef. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal moderate overall satisfaction (33.3% satisfied), with significant disparities according to level of study, equipment used, and connectivity quality. The study employs an integrative theoretical framework combining the Community of Inquiry model, the Technology Acceptance Model, and the success factors model proposed by Tony Bates (2019). The analysis identifies three major predictive factors of satisfaction: perceived Internet connection quality (β = 0.54, p < .001), prior training on platform use (β = 0.31, p < .01), and type of equipment used (computer vs smartphone, β = 0.24, p < .05). The results lead to the proposal of a hybrid DL integration model combining stakeholder training, infrastructure improvement, and adaptation of pedagogical practices.
