Abstract

Individuals update their knowledge and integrate new one within their professional behavior by training. The literature review revealed a set of variables which affect the acquisition and the realization of skills and knowledge by learners of the virtual school of the post office. In the research, the effectiveness of e-learning experience refers to the realization of learning. Based on the Kirkpatrick’s model, we admit the effect of learner reflexivity, the e-learning system quality and the motivation to learn on the effectiveness of learning on line. The work focuses on these factors and their conceptual and empirical relation with the acquisition and the realization of skills via e-learning. Building on the same perspective, we propose a theoretical model for the purpose to discuss the following question; what are the determinants of the acquisition and realization of learning?
