Abstract | The purpose of the present study is to understand administrator, faculty, and student perceptions of quality in distance education courses. We explored the following research question: What is the meaning of "quality" in an online course to administrators, faculty, and students? Survey data from 10 academic administrators, 113 online faculty, and 349 online students from 2 midsize public universities in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States was utilized. Qualitative data analysis revealed the top 7 quality features, as ranked by number of references. Our results also revealed discrepancies among the rankings of the 7 quality features among administrators, faculty, and students. The researchers suggest that these findings should be considered and reflected on in online course design, online teaching strategies, and online student support. (As Provided). |
