Abstract: The Open Factors Instrument is a twenty-five item questionnaire instrument used for gauging perceptions of openness in learning environments. The instrument will be useful for informing design decisions in the implementation and evaluation of openness and related constructs in higher education classrooms and organizational training situations. This paper describes the iterative design cycles, cognitive interviewing processes, and formative feedback sessions used in developing the instrument, and provides a rough draft of the current instrument.
