Web-based learning tools (WBLTs), also known as learning objects, are online, interactive tools that support the learning of specific concepts by enhancing, amplifying, and/or guiding the cognitive processes of learners. Research examining the effectiveness of WBLTs is somewhat limited because sound, reliable, valid evaluation metrics are sparse, particularly in the K-12 environment. The purpose of the following study was to re-examine the Learning Object Evaluation Scale for students (LOES-S), originally developed by Kay and Knaack (2009), to assess three key constructs: learning, design, and engagement. Over 800 middle and secondary schools students participated in high quality, pre-designed lessons intended to accentuate the use of WBLTs. Data collected from the new WBLT Evaluation Scale demonstrated good internal reliability, construct validity, convergent validity and predictive validity.
► The Learning Object Evaluation Scale designed by Kay and Knaack (2009) was re-examined.
► Three main constructs were assessed including learning, design and engagement.
► The new WBLT Evaluation Scale showed high internal reliability.
► The new scale also demonstrated good construct validity and convergent validity.
► The three scale constructs were significant predictors of learning performance.
