The purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model of satisfaction of adult learners in a Web-based distance education course and their intent to participate in future Web-based distance education courses. The factors examined were computer self-efficacy, academic self-concept, age, gender, academic status, years of computer use, frequency of computer use, computer training, Internet experience in a class, and participation in a workshop for a Web-based course. Computer self-efficacy was the only predictor variable that was statistically significant. There was a positive relationship between learners' satisfaction with their Web-based distance education courses and their intent to participate in future Web-based courses.
