The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has significantly transformed both pedagogical methods and educational policies at a global scale. One of its main contributions lies in its potential to provide personalized feedback to students, which substantially enhances their learning and academic performance. In this context, the purpose of the present study is to propose and validate a conceptual model aimed at analyzing the factors that influence student behavior in response to GAI-mediated feedback in online learning environments. To this end, a MOOC titled "Transforming Education with AI: ChatGPT" was designed and developed at a university, where students received feedback on their activities through the GAI tool ChatGPT. The proposed model was evaluated through a survey that gathered a total of 161 responses and was validated using the PLS-SEM technique. The results show that students hold a positive perception of the use of GAI for receiving feedback in their learning process. Moreover, although concerns regarding privacy and security persist, these do not significantly affect the level of satisfaction with GAI-mediated feedback in education.
