Biography
Amy J. Catalano is Associate Professor of Teaching and Learning as well as Library Services at Hofstra University, U.S.
"Measurements in Distance Education presents fifty-eight instruments that have been used in online and distance education over the last twenty years, mainly self-report questionnaires (although some have been validated against behavioral data or learning analytics). Fourteen instruments are presented verbatim, and clear pointers are provided for accessing the remainder. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and their students."
—John Richardson, Emeritus Professor in Student Learning, The Open University, UK
