Abstract	Learning with technology has become essential in today's education not only in Thailand but also all around the world. Technology has been an important tool for improving language learners' reading writing, speaking, and listening for quite some time. Writing, however, has been one of the most supported skills thanks to technology. Learning how to write paragraphs or essays is an essential skill for learners. The purposes of this quasi-experimental study were: 1) to examine the effectiveness of the e-Writing instructional design program in developing the writing skills of EFL learners, 2) to explore learners' satisfaction and motivation toward the e-Writing instructional design program, and 3) to study learners' autonomy after completing the e-Writing instructional design program. This study employed the purposive sampling method to select 33 second-year learners. Lesson plans, e-writing programs, learner perception questionnaires, interviews, as well as a pre and post-test were the tools used to gather relevant data. A t-test with standard and average deviation was used to investigate the quantitative data. Interview data were analyzed using content analysis. The quantitative findings revealed that the writing achievement level of the learners before and after receiving the treatment was significantly different at 0.001. The learners' post-test scores of 33 learners increased over the pre-test scores. From the questionnaire results, the satisfaction level of undergraduate learners toward the instruction of this course had average scores of 4.34 which was an excellent level. Furthermore, interviews revealed that learners are satisfied with the e-Writing instructional design program because this could improve learners' writing skills and promote more learner autonomy. Recommendations are made and presented in terms of future practical application and future research needs to be done to analyze results and the effects of future outcomes. (As Provided).
