Learning has become a platform for students to gain and expand their knowledge through mobile applications or web-based systems. Even though e-learning systems usually aim to facilitate students' understanding of the subject, some fail to convey the underlying learning outcomes. These circumstances emerge as most e-learning methods or tools fail to attract students to engage in their studies continuously. Therefore, to overcome the problem, the Persuasive Learning Objects and Technologies (PLOT) model comprises persuasive design elements for online learning, is developed. A web-based statistical analysis assistant system called TemanKajianKu (Study Buddy) has been developed based on PLOT elements to assist students in identifying the correct approach to conduct and analyze their experiment. This paper aims to evaluate users' experience and examine the effectiveness of the persuasive design elements of the system. Ten participants were involved in interviews using the Think-Aloud protocol method. The study results showed that most participants conveyed positive opinions by giving good feedback on the system design. Most also stated that the system could help them make decisions by utilizing persuasive elements such as reduction, social signal, tunnelling, tailoring, and selfmonitoring. This concludes that the Persuasive Learning Tool is effective in helping develop an e-learning application or webbased system that helps students in decision-making concerning their studies.
