Basic Construction of an Evaluation System for Virtual Learning Environments

Virtual learning environments (VLEs) are widely used in higher education nowadays, but an effective evaluation system is still absent to consider users experience and constantly improve VLEs. In this paper, the researchers refer to interviews and other researches to select multiple indexes. Then the Likert scale is used in the questionnaire and factor analysis-principal component analysis is carried out using SPSS. Finally, the equations which illustrate the connection between the principal indexes and other indexes are formed and weights of each indexes are determined. Accordingly, the comprehensive evaluation system for VLEs is completed.
