Abstract

Presenters will discuss the methods and preliminary results of a three-step process for assessing a survey’s validity. The survey of interest was designed to expand on McVay (2000, 2001) and Bernard, Brauer, Abrami and Surkes (2004), and Mattice and Dixon (1999), and to examine learner characteristics and technology capabilities of online students. The survey will be partly reviewed in the context of this study, and the preliminary outcomes presented.
