Abstract :
The research reported in This work is part of a 2-years evaluation activity of an on-line seminar based on a social-constructivist pedagogic design. Its purpose is to investigate the level of students´ satisfaction with five different dimensions of the seminar, namely the organization and clarity, the pedagogic approach, the interaction within learning groups, the delivery platform, and their learning experiences. The relationships between the students´ level of satisfaction with these dimensions and their gender, age, professional category, and prior experience in online courses are further explored.
