Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine if age, gender, major, number of online courses taken, and classification are related to student perceptions of the quality of learning and course satisfaction of online courses. Over 350 students were surveyed and asked to answer questions relating to online and face-to-face courses. Contingency table (chi square) analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that student perceptions of learning in online classes vary by all of the demographic variables considered except gender.
