Due to the shift from traditional face‐to‐face to online learning, challenges in learning environments are on the rise. The aim of this study was to assess students’ satisfaction with a service course conducted online at a funded university in Europe using a structural equation model. The construction and validation of five scales for measuring students’ learning and satisfaction is also presented. One thousand one hundred and sixteen students were given an online questionnaire in January, 2019. The scales were found to be sufficiently valid and reliable. The interaction, instructor behaviors, advantages/flexibility, and perceived learning/course quality were influential in students’ satisfaction. Success in e‐learning can be achieved with the help of these findings via improving e‐learning strategies. Further studies can be conducted on students’ learning and satisfaction while participating in other online courses using the same scales.

Researchers agree that mobile learning implementation requires new pedagogies and successful integration and implementation of technologies into learning needs to be wellplanned. In this context, this study first aimed to develop a use of mobile technologies measurement scale and then examined students' perceptions and opinions of using mobile technologies as part of the E-learning program with data from 786 students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to develop the measurement model; then the structural model for the research was tested using SEM. From the SEM analysis, with one dimension and ten variables, the scale was acceptable and the model explained 42.34 percent of the variance, which is indicative of medium explanatory power. Reliability for the scale was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, which was greater than .80 for Use of Mobile Phones in this study, thus the items were reliable. The results showed that most of the students used the latest smartphone technologies and they generally approved of using these as part of their E-learning program on Moodle learning management system.
