Abstract

This presentation describes the progressive development of a valid and reliable assessment tool, Virtual Learning Environment Survey—VLES, for exploring the degree to which the Recursive Model for Knowledge Development (Adams, 2007) relates to effective design of online learning environments. This student self-report survey seeks to provide guidance for the assessment of online learning environments through collection of student perceptions of teaching strategies, knowledge approach and knowledge ownership in online learning environments The identification of these three model dimensions are developed from the premise that good teaching and engaged learning should not be determined by the use of certain instructional tools but by the guiding principal that learning is an active and recursive process, where knowledge must be contextualized to be relevant to the learner.
