The paper presents results of the development of a scale for assessing university digital educational environment (AUDEE Scale; N = 406; 366 (90.1% women; age varies from 19 to 72 years, on average 28.7 ± 9.6 years (median = 24 years)).AUDEE scale provides a comprehensive description of digital educational environment based on the distinguishing of six indicators: satisfaction with the educational process; satisfaction with communicative interaction; stress tension; the need for support; dishonest strategies in knowledge control; and environment accessibility.The results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirm the six subscales model (IFI = 0.87; χ2 / df = 2.6; RMSEA = 0.06 [0.058; 0.066]; SRMR = 0.06).All subscales have acceptable reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.72—0.91, Split-half Guttman alpha = 0.82—0.92) and demonstrate predictable relationships with convergent indicators: experiences during learning (efforts, pleasure, meaning); cognitive motivation, achievement motivation, self-development motivation, introjected and external motivation, amotivation.To standardize the scale, stanines are calculated.
