    Abstract

    This research aimed to explore the nuances of utility in components of E-Learning systems by using a multi-generational undergraduate business school cohort programme and an e-learning utility-satisfaction evaluation model. Our empirical research demonstrates differences between the three generations for the utility of all the variables of the E-Learning systems components, with varying differences in the relationships between Generation X, Y and Z. Furthermore, we show course development, learner support and user characteristics influence results demonstrability which has a high influence on overall satisfaction. We established nuances in the learning utility essentials in courses on E-Learning systems for multi-generational cohorts; revealed the utility of learner support as a key differentiator and developed a model on utility-satisfaction with reasonable explanatory and predictive power. The model possesses the dual advantages of fewer constituent items and the connective capability to link utility to satisfaction to enable E-Learning systems evaluation and ease for identifying areas for improvement in E-Learning course delivery.
