Abstract

To address the growing interest in student experience, this research examines how online learning environments (OLEs) can help facilitate positive experiences for students. The paper addresses how OLEs are perceived by students in their service offering (i.e. the attributes that the OLE offers). Through applying an innovative laddering technique with thirty-eight students, students themselves analysed and identified the attributes, consequences, and values of the OLE. Four key attributes were identified by the students that educators should consider when choosing OLEs to deliver their service offering: 1) accessibility; 2) ease of use; 3) all in one place; and 4) interactivity. This paper contributes to the student experience literature by identifying how student engagement with these particular attributes can lead to well-being, success, and self-actualization for the students.
