“…Meanwhile, nowadays one of the tasks of e-teachers is to prepare content and learning activities, and to provide timely appropriate feedback (Kebritchi, Lipschuetz, and Santiague 2017). Feedback in e-learning is a very important factor in enabling students to monitor and improve their own performance (Yengin et al 2010). In addition, one of the key elements in e-learning is to interact with others.…”

Universities assess their academic learning environment to improve students' learning. Students' experience in e-learning environment is different from faceto-face educational environment. So, in this study a specific valid and reliable instrument was devised for assessing perception of e-students from educational environment, that is, educational atmosphere. Firstly, we devised the primary instrument based on factors constituting educational atmosphere. Then Instrument's content and construct validity were assessed. Also, Cronbach's alpha and test-retest were used for studying the internal consistency and reliability of the instrument respectively. The final instrument named 'e-learning educational atmosphere measure' (EEAM) consisted of 40 items covering six factors, including programme effectiveness, teaching quality, ethics and professionalism, learner support, safety and convenience, and awareness of the rules, which accounted for 68.53% of variances. Content validity ratio was more than 0.51 and content validity index score of all questions was above 0.81. Test-retest reliability was 0.85 (p = 0.001) and Cronbach's alpha was 0.943. Assessing educational atmosphere in e-learning settings by EEAM could provide managers and investors with useful information to settle an effective education system by prioritising the necessary changes.

“…Students wanted the course to be more practical. Of course MUCL librarians realize the main motivation strategies for e-learning like attention, relevance, confidence and satisfaction (Yengin et al, 2010) but in the context of the described conditions in Czech university libraries, they can only gradually innovate the course to the most effective functionality. Table 1 -A symbol X means the task was included in the semester.…”

Purpose -The main goal of this article is to describe and to evaluate the results of evaluation of the e-learning course Information literacy which is taught by the librarians at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. In the article the results are discussed to inform about the librarians experience with tutoring the course. Design/methodology/approach -The survey has covered the medical students who enrolled the course between autumn 2008 and autumn 2010. The students were requested to fill the questionnaire designed in Google Documents and based on the quantitative method including a five-point Likert scale combined with closed ended questions and open ended question. Findings -Results show the medical students are satisfated with the e-learning course Information literacy because of time and space flexibility, studying at their own pace and online interactive tutorials. More than half students found the gradual releasing of the study materials and the tasks as the main motivation for continous learning. Most of the students were satisfied with the taught topics like methodology of searching in the databases Web of Science, Scopus and medical databeses, using EndNoteWeb and citation style ISO 690. Most of the tasks like searching in the online databases, working with EndNoteWeb or finding the impact factor of a journal were evaluated as beneficial. Practical implications -The results have suggested several important revisions to the elearning course Information literacy. The librarians have decided to create the interactive tutorials explaining the importance of the topics according to the students' needs in the future and writing a scientific paper and remove the parts of tutorials describing the library terminology and catalogues. Besides this decision two new tasks -verifying online access to the full text of journals and finding signs of plagiarism in a short text -have been added since spring 2011. Finally the librarians will prepare some printed material supporting the course and improve the publicity of their e-learning course among the teachers who can recommend the course to their students. Originality/value -The article presents one of the first experience with e-learning course Information literacy for medical students in the Czech republic. The results and its discussion can help to other librarians who are going to prepare the similar e-learning course in planning the conception of their course.

Background: Because of the developments and advancements in information technology (IT), unparalleled opportunities have been provided in electronic arenas; among them, electronic learning (e-learning) systems have brought attention to the facilitation of education. Since educational environment is a factor influencing the success of educational programs, the current study aims at evaluating the factors that create the educational atmosphere in cyberspace. Methods: The current study employed a qualitative content analysis approach and a targeted sampling method. A total of 11 students and 13 faculty members were recruited by a semi-structured interview in 2015. The interviews were continued separately for both students and lecturers up to the saturation of sample size. After the interview data were qualitatively analyzed. Results: After the data analysis, 685 codes were extracted out of the qualitative data, which were reevaluated in several stages and classified into 38 subcategories. Then, 13 categories and 6 domains (The status of virtual education, learner support, teaching skills, evaluation, professionalism and professional ethics, and self-efficacy) were created. Conclusions: Since the educational environment is an inseparable part of a curriculum, the factors creating an educational atmosphere in cyberspace are critically important and necessary for the qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the curriculum and prediction of educational outcomes.
