Abstract

This paper aims to examine the impact of three human attributes (age, gender and social status) on students using online learning tools in a hybrid (face-to-face as well as online) courses in Al Ain University of Science and Technology in United Arab Emirates. To measure the impact of these attributes on student view and learning style on online learning tools, a sample from Al Ain University of Science and Technology was collected; the data then was analyzed to ensure its significance and reliability. The research finds a strong relationship between these attributes (age, gender and social status) and how online educational tools are perceived by students.
