Research Topic: Integrating students’ perspectives about online learning: a
hierarchy of factors
While there are different perspectives of the

learning process such as learning
achievement and faculty perspectives,
students’ perspectives are especially critical
since they are ultimately the raison d’être of
the educational endeavor. More pragmatically,
students’ perspectives provide invaluable,
first-hand insights into their experiences and
expectations.
RQ's 1.
1. What are the significant factors in creating a INTRODUCTION
high-quality online learning experience from
students’ perspectives?
2. Is there a priority or hierarchy of factors

related to students’ perceptions of online
teaching quality that relate to their decisions to
enroll in online classes?
Even when students say they prefer

face-to-face classes to online, many
enroll in online classes and re-enroll in
the future if the experience meets
minimum expectations. This study
examines the threshold expectations
of students when they are considering
taking online classes. When
discussing students’ perceptions of LITERATURE REVIEW
quality, there is little clarity about the
actual range of concepts because no
integrated empirical studies exist
comparing major factors found
throughout the literature.
Some past studies have used robust empirical
methods to identify a single factor or a small
number of factors related to quality from a
student’s perspective, but have not sought to
be relatively comprehensive. Others have used
a longer series of itemized factors, but have
less used less robust methods, and have not
tied those factors back to the literature. This
study has used the literature to develop a
relatively comprehensive list of items focused
on quality teaching in a single rigorous
protocol. That is, while a Beta test had
identified five coherent factors, substantial
changes to the current survey that sharpened
the focus on quality factors rather than STATEMENT of
antecedent factors, as well as better LIMITATIONS
articulating the array of factors often lumped
under the mantle of “teaching presence.” In
addition, it has also examined them based on
threshold expectations: from minimal, such as
when flexibility is the driving consideration, to
modest, such as when students want a “good”
online class, to high, when students demand
an interactive virtual experience equivalent to
face-to-face.
The study was conducted to understand the

exploratory factor analysis study incorporating
various concepts identified in the literature as
critical success factors for online learning from
the students’ perspective, and then determines
their hierarchical significance. Furthermore,
this study will be done in order to achieve a
deeper understanding of Integrating students’
perspectives about online learning and CONCLUSION
students, who preferred face-to-face classes
and demanded a comparable experience,
valued Online Interactive Modality and
Instructional Support more highly.
To examine the various quality factors, we
apply a critical success factor methodology
and as a way to identify the information needs
of executives, detailing steps for the collection
and analysation of data to create a set of METHODOLOGY
organizational. Describe the underlying or
guiding principles which must be incorporated
to ensure success.
First, we will identify the possible

participants big our study. After a
comprehensive literature review, an
instrument was created to measure students’
perceptions about the importance of
techniques and indicators leading to quality
online classes. Demographic information
was gathered to determine their effects on
students’ levels of acceptance of online
classes based on age, year in program,
major, distance from university, number of PRELIMINARY DATA
online classes taken, high school experience
with online classes, and communication
preferences.
