			Oblim Rotated Loadings^e
		Mean (SD)	Factor 1 Online Teaching Enjoyment	Factor 2 Online Discussion Super.
The online environment is:
ONL1	Pleasurable	6.00 (1.52)^a	.843	–.119
ONL2	Exciting	5.51 (1.59)^b	.632	.252
ONL3	Fun	5.81 (1.30)^c	.866	–.002
Comparing online classroom discussion to the traditional classroom
SUP1	The online classroom facilitates more substantive discussion	3.67 (1.95)^d	.061	.813
SUP2	Within a course, there will be a more equitable distribution of participation in online discussion	2.94 (1.79)	–.001	.856
SUP3	Because of anonymity, debate will increase with students and faculty members	3.45 (1.81)	.218	.652
SUP4	Faculty members who ask students who dominate discussions groups to speak less will have a more equal distribution of participation among students	3.93 (1.60)	–.115	.561
Factor diagnostics
Eigenvalue			2.88	1.36
Cumulative variance explained			41.17%	60.52%

Scale was anchored with 1, do not find it pleasurable; … 7, find it pleasurable (reverse coded for analysis)

Scale was anchored with 1, exciting; … 7, unexciting

Scale was anchored with 1, not fun; … 7, fun (reverse coded for analysis)

Scales were anchored with 1, strongly agree; … 7, strongly disagree

Factor analysis yielded only two factors with eigenvalues larger than the requisite 1.0 and the next “factor” had an eigenvalue of .894. Two factors were identified through the scree plot, and the two-factor model is interpretable.
