Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education International Conference (SITE 2013).

While the entire QM online course design process is faculty-centered, it does not include the actual users of the online and hybrid courses - students - in any of the steps. The authors of this study investigated students’ point of view on the quality of course design based on QM standards. Specifically, this study investigated whether the students agree on the quality standards that are set by QM rubric for the faculty and institutions as the criteria to success in online / hybrid courses.
