Creating, maintaining and working in e-learning environments is challenging and to date there has been little evaluation of the quality of such learning environments where educators are able to receive feedback on student's perceptions and adjust their learning environments accordingly. Current research, reported in this paper, looks at the use of an online survey instrument for evaluating e-learning environments. The instrument has been used in a number of learning environments, and in different countries with secondary and tertiary students in Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The resultant statistics depict the actual and preferred learning environment of individuals and groups of learners giving valuable feedback to educators working in these environments. A number of examples are given to illustrate how educators can gather this data to evaluate the effectiveness of the e-learning environment. Adjustments can then be made
accordingly to improve or adjust the learning environment.
