Description
The purpose of the present study is to understand faculty, student, and administrator perceptions of quality in distance education courses. Our research question was: What is the meaning of "quality" in an online course to administrators, faculty, and students? Qualitative data revealed the top 7 quality features and the discrepancies among the rankings of the 7 quality features among faculty, students, and administrators. The researchers suggest that the findings from the study should be considered and reflected in online course design, teaching strategies, and student support.
