Online vs. offline course evaluation revisited: testing the invariance of a course evaluation questionnaire using a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis framework

On The Factor Structure invariance of the PhD UEE Using Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis

The aim of the current study was twofold: (1) to validate the internal structure of the general English (GE) section of the university entrance examination for Ph.D applicants into the English programs at state universities in Iran (Ph.D. UEE), and (2) to examine the factor structure invariance of the Ph.D. UEE across two proficiency levels. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyz...

A course is a course is a course: Factor invariance in student evaluation of online, blended and face-to-face learning environments

Testing Parameter Invariance for Questionnaire Indices using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory

Studying Measurement Invariance Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis

For any such use of scale scores, there is a critical assumption that the scale is measuring the same trait in all of the groups. If that assumption holds, then comparisons and analyses of those scores are acceptable and yield meaningful interpretations. But if that assumption is not true, then such comparisons and analyses do not yield meaningful results. This is the general issue of (MI). mea...

Iterative Evaluation of a Participatory Designed Online Course

We present an iterative hybrid formative evaluation methodology incorporated in a Participatory Design process for an online multimedia course in Modern Greek. Our hybrid evaluation incorporates student surveys, log file analysis, solicitation of student feedback, and monitoring student discussions. The evaluation process is ongoing, and its results are incorporated in the design of the course....
