Overview

The Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES) is an online survey instrument for evaluating e-learning environments. The data collected and the resultant statistics depict the actual and preferred learning environment of individuals and groups of learners giving valuable feedback to educators working in these environments. Using the OLES educators can gather valuable pre-course and post-course data to evaluate the effectiveness of the e-learning environment. Adjustments can then be made accordingly to improve or adjust the learning environment.

The OLES is run by Dr Sue Trinidad and Dr John Pearson and has been funded by the Committee on Research and Conference Grants (CRCG) and a CITE research grant at The University of Hong Kong.

Dr Trinidad and Dr Pearson have authored a number publications resulting from their research with the OLES. Click here to view a list of publications.

Instructions

If you are using the OLES for the first time you need to create an account to access the OLES. Once you have done this, you can add modules to be surveyed with the OLES and access evaluation data, for your modules, at any time.

To create an account click on the NEW button and fill in the information required as an administrator of OLES.

To use the OLES with a group of students:

  1. login;
  2. click the ADD button on the Module Selection form and add details about the module (subject, unit) to be surveyed;
  3. click the URL button on the Module Selection form, copy the URL displayed for the student version of the OLES and forward this to students (by individual email, or message in a discussion forum). Advise students to copy the URL and paste it into a new browser window (NOT click on the URL to open OLES). Also advise students that they will receive a "successful" message when their responses have been received.

When students have completed the OLES, you (as administrator) can view responses by clicking on the DATA and CHART buttons. You can then display the chart (online or in class) and discuss the data further with students.
