Smith, Peter J.; Murphy, Karen L.; Mahoney, Sue E.

Distance Education, v24 n1 p57-67 May 2003

Describes a test of the potential value of McVay's (2000) Readiness for Online Learning questionnaire on 107 undergraduates in the United States and Australia. Discusses results of a reliability analysis and a factor analysis, which indicated the instruments' usefulness for research and practice and suggests further work to establish predictive validity.
