• Resumen

  • Purpose - The main purpose of the current study is to develop and validate a multi-dimensional instrument to measure e-learning blog satisfaction (ELBS).

    Design/methodology/approach - This study introduces and defines the construct of e-learning blog satisfaction, provides an empirical validation of the construct and its underlying dimensionality, develops a generic e-learning blog satisfaction instrument with desirable psychometric properties, and investigates the instrument�s theoretical and practical applications.

    Findings - After analyzing data from a calibration sample (n=238) and a validation sample (n=226), this study proposes a 5-factor, 20-item ELBS instrument.

    Practical implications - This empirically validated instrument will be useful to researchers in terms of developing and testing blog-based learning theories, as well as to educators in terms of understanding students� ELBS and promoting the use of blog-based learning systems.

    Originality/value - This study is a pioneering effort to develop and validate a multi-dimensional instrument to measure e-learning blog satisfaction.
