Aim: E-learning is increasingly used in education, creating a learning environment that needs to be studied thoroughly for developing new learning opportunities.

Background: Drawing from the community of inquiry framework, the present work provides the theoretical foundation and measurement validation of the Self-Perceived E-Learning Environment Scale (SEES). The SEES measures core aspects of the e-learning context: autonomous strategic planning, social interaction, and teacher feedback.

Method: Through two studies carried out in sample of nursing students, an exploratory (n = 302) and confirmatory (n = 245) factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure.

Result: The results provide empirical evidence of appropriate psychometric properties (i.e., reliability, validity).

Conclusion: The SEES can be used in a higher education context, particularly in nursing education programs. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications for exploring the e-learning environment in nursing educational settings are discussed.

The COVID-19 pandemic had immediate impact on nursing students enrolled in postgraduate and post-registration nursing courses. Some students were required to undertake additional clinical hours and place their studies on hold, while others had clinical experiences and face-to-face classes suspended, with online learning modes quickly mobilized. While there have been many reports on the impact and experience of these changes on undergraduate students, limited reports have focused on challenges for nursing students who were registered for practice following completion of their undergraduate studies, and were enrolled in higher degree, postgraduate education programs.

Background: Prior research suggests leader-based interventions are considered to have a much stronger influence on worker safety behavior and climate than worker-based interventions. However, no prior research has evaluated training effectiveness of safety-specific leadership skill development for front-line supervisors on dairy farms. A tailored safety leadership training program targeting dairy farm supervisors was developed, delivered, and evaluated for its training effect on the supervisor's safety leadership behavior.
