The survey included one open-ended question and eight questions
each with a number of choices to select via checkboxes. The survey
began with the open-ended question that asked respondents to
identify the differences between distance learning, e-Learning, and
online learning. The second question related to respondents' role(s)
within in the learning environment. The third question focused on all
of the learning environment characteristics that helped to define the
type of environment where the participation occurred. The last four
questions were scenario-based and required the respondents to select
the best label to describe that particular type of environment. The
label choices included learning environment types and possible
instructional resources.
