With the videos used was evaluated easy to understand by both groups, it was found that correspondence college students considered e-learning more positively than commuting students. They were pleased with the clarity and convenience of the video classes, and were not dissatisfied with the one-sidedness and difficulty in maintaining motivation to keep studying.　On the other hand, the commuting students were not very satisfied much with the clarity and convenience of the video classes, suffered more from the onesidedness, and felt difficulty in keeping study motivation. The score of the final exam was not related to satisfaction or dissatisfaction with e-learning.
