The research question explored in both studies was: What is the meaning of \u201cquality\u201d in an online\/blended course to administrators, faculty, and students? Survey data from the three constituents in both contexts were obtained. Qualitative data analysis revealed the top 7-8 quality features of each context as ranked by number of references. The results revealed similarities and differences in the rankings of the quality features between constituents and between contexts. Similarities suggested that different constituents had different priorities with regards to quality features while differences appeared to be based on where each institution was on their distance education trajectory. These findings should be considered and reflected on in online course design, teaching strategies, and student support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijdet.2019040103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,10]],"date-time":"2019-07-10T16:27:15Z","timestamp":1562776035000},"page":"45-58","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Meaning of Quality in Online\/Blended Courses to American and Malaysian Administrators, Faculty, and Students"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Esther","family":"Smidt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"West Chester University, West Chester, US"}]},{"given":"Cecilia Yin Mei","family":"Cheong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Dachroeden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"West Chester University, West Chester, US"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Kochem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iowa State University, Ames, US"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"IJDET.2019040103-0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.15215\/aupress\/9781897425084.01","author":"T.Anderson","year":"2008","journal-title":"The theory and practice of online learning"},{"key":"IJDET.2019040103-1","first-page":"454","article-title":"Blended learning in higher education institution in Malaysia.","author":"F.
