Construction of an instrument for measuring medical student satisfaction with virtual campus.
In France, the virtual campus became a pedagogical tool used in the medical education in year 2000. Therefore, it is appropriate to measure the student satisfaction, user of virtual campus. The objective of this research was to develop a student satisfaction instrument adapted to the medical field. Based on the literature, we obtained 36-item questionnaire, using 5-point Likert-type scale. 80 students in the Faculty of Medicine at the Nantes University participated to this survey. In this study, two analyses were conducted, the first included all the items and the second excluded items for which a high rate of non response were found. The results show that the instrument contains three dimensions: 'self evaluation - tutorial', 'appropriateness of content' and 'user-friendliness'. Nevertheless, this exploratory study need to be validated with a greater sample of students.
