ABSTRACT
This study is a continuation of Jing and Zhao's study to further examine the validity and reliability of Jing and Zhao's MOOC Satisfaction Scale in 2020 (MSS-20) by using new survey data. The MSS-20 consists of five factors and 28 items. Based on the questionnaire data from 141 university students, we examine the MSS-20 by using the methods of item analysis, EFA, and reliability analysis. The analysis results re-confirm the proper discrimination of the 28 items and the validity of four factors in the MSS-20 but do not support the factor of Assessment and Examination in the MSS-20. Moreover, the number of items under each factor in the present study varies from that in MSS-20. By re-examining the MSS-20, a verified Scale, named MSS-21, is formed. The MSS-21 and its process of formation could be references to the future measurement of learners' satisfaction with MOOC.
