Evaluation of Virtual Learning Environment for Learnig Concepts in Technical Drawing in Ilorin Metropolis

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluating virtual learning environment for junior secondary school basic technology students in Nigeria. In this study, a mixed method quantitative pilot study design with qualitative components was used to test and ascertain the ease of and validation of the virtual learning environments. Convenience sampling technique was used in selecting the three content, Technical drawing and educational technology experts to evaluate the virtual learning environment. Three validating instruments were employed in conducting this study: (i) Content Validation Assessment Report (CVAR); (ii) Technical Expert Validation Assessment Report (TEAR); (iii) Educational Technology> Experts Validation Assessment Report (ETEVAR). All the instruments were face and content validated. CVAR, TEAR, ETEVAR were administered on content specialists, Technical drawing experts, and educational technology experts. The findings revealed that the process of developing virtual learning environment through ADDIE model was successful. In addition, the report from the validating team revealed that the virtual learning environment is valuable for learning Technical drawing It is therefore recommended that virtual learning environment should be produced to teach "Technical drawing concepts on large scale.
