Technology-enhanced learning method has been adopted worldwide in order to develop globalised competitiveness among graduates. It becomes very important to examine the other side i.e., student’s satisfaction on technology-enhanced learning, especially in a state like Chhattisgarh where limited number of students are engaged in online educational resources. This research investigates various factors affecting the student’s satisfaction on technology- enhanced learning in higher education in Chhattisgarh, India. The primary data were collected based on the usage of technology-enhanced learning resources from 600 students studying in different government and private universities and colleges. Authors used purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria of having used any online learning resources for at least one year. Step wise multiple regression analysis using SPSS was incorporated to test the conceptual framework of the research. To test the reliability and validity of the instrument used in the study, Smart PLS software was applied. The results indicated that informational quality, compatibility, subjective norms, subject interest and institutional branding of technology-enhanced learning is found to have positive and significant influence on student’s satisfaction on technology-enhanced learning whereas resource availability and self-efficacy variables did not provide significant effect on satisfaction of students for online learning.
