“…DL is not new to education; correspondence schools have operated in the US institutions such as Pennsylvania State University which is one of the first universities that had a program of correspondence study in 1892 (Banas and Emor, 1998). Today distance education exists worldwide and is applied to education at different levels (Sizoo et al, 2003).…”

Distance learning (DL) has become an important part of university education. In the past DL was applied in different universities with different forms. With rapid technological developments, DL gained a new format through the Internet. Students can take courses online wherever they are geographically. Therefore, working people and adults can enroll higher education institutions without time and space barriers. Like many countries, Turkey adapted its education system to this new form. From 1980's to recent years, this system has been applied through open education faculties in state universities. However as the number of foundation universities increase, DL became more common in various programs at different levels. Conventional universities use this system in some courses so students take both face-to-face and online courses together. Universities can use this system to use their scarce financial resources effectively with saving some costs and provides possibilities for sustainable advantage. In this paper, evaluation of students', who are enrolled in a traditional university, about DL quality was analyzed using Grönross' service quality model.

“…Students must be self-disciplined (Li, 2002) and possess effective learning skills and coping mechanisms to be successful in distance learning environments. Sizoo, Malhotra, and Bearson (2003) found that controlling anxiety, for instance, contribute to a successful learning experience; the authors suggest that students can reduce anxiety by regaining control over their academic responsibilities and overstudying recommended materials.…”

This study addressed the relationship between student satisfaction and four interaction variables-student-content, student-instructor, student-student, and studenttechnology-in online, blended, and traditional learning settings. Demographics, previous experience with the Internet, and discussion-board applications were also investigated.There were 916 respondents, including 185 in online settings, 90 in blended settings, and 641 in traditional settings, to Strachota's (2002) Online Satisfaction Survey.Participants took the survey either in an on-site classroom (traditional learning) or through e-mail, website link, or the Blackboard course management system (online setting). Participants in the blended setting could choose between completing the survey on-site or online, but were asked to respond only once.Distance learners were less satisfied with their interactions with content, instructors, and other students than were traditional learners, but more satisfied with technology. Technology orientation sessions and more interactive online programs, such as leading discussions, participating in a learning community, and receiving timely and detailed feedback, should be developed for quality interaction and satisfaction with instructors and learners in a virtual environment. What learners' and instructors'perspectives are and what content is optimal for learner satisfaction should be studied further. Future research could also determine which populations or characteristics are associated with difficulty in using computer technology and which instructional substitutions could be made for future technology novices to improve their satisfaction and completion. Blended learning with well-designed content and orientations has proven to be a good solution for improving student satisfaction with interaction in virtual environments. More research on student satisfaction with interactive variables should be conducted to enhance retention and performance. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I appreciate

Online learning (OL) has become an important part of university education. In the past OL was applied in different universities with different forms. With rapid technological developments OL gains a new format through Internet. Students can take courses online wherever they are geographically. Therefore working people and adults can enroll in a higher education institution without time and space barriers. Like many other countries, Turkey adapted its education system to this new form. Beginning from 1980s, this system was applied through open education faculties in state universities. However as the number of foundation universities increase, OL became more common application in many programs at different levels. In this study, quality perception of online learners that enrolled in a university in Turkey will be determined and analyzed through statistical analyses.
