Abstract: The increased use of online learning in postsecondary education has documented negative impacts for students that may be more pronounced for students with learning disabilities (LD). The purpose of this research was to understand how students’ expectancy for success, value of academic tasks, and potential costs associated with online learning, associate with student satisfaction, grades and burnout. Data was collected from 224 postsecondary students with and without LD. Students with LD received lower grades and experienced more burnout than their peers. Moreover, for students with LD, academic achievement was associated with higher expectancy and cost, while burnout was also associated with higher cost, for lower expectancy. Ways to support the learning needs of students with LD are highlighted.
