A Model of Adaptation to a Distributed Learning Environment

The first objective of the study was to both develop and test empirically the hypothesized structural equation model (SEM) of adaptation to a distributed learning environment (DLE). Based on the literature reviewed, prior computing experience, computing skills, attitude toward computers, and knowledge of English were chosen as the variables affecting adaptation. The empirical data for the study were gathered by a web questionnaire on the Internet. The online study involved 64 adult learners and 38 instructors (n = 102) from the Finnish nationwide OpinNet –project, which is the project started and coordinated by the National Board of Education
