QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear student,

The main purpose of this questionnaire is to collect data from students with regard to the research topic of eLearning evaluation from a student perspective in order to develop an eLearning facility evaluation framework. Specifically, data that will be collected will be used to determine whether there is a correlation between eLearning evaluation from a student perspective and student satisfaction, develop areas of focus that could be used for the evaluation of e-learning facilities and identify ways of minimizing costs of evaluating the e-learning facilities. The responses that will be provided will solely be used for the purpose of the research undertaking and no participants data will be advanced to third parties other than the people engaged in the research undertaking. Your genuine and honest responses will be highly appreciated.
