The roles of online courses’ design and evaluation in nursing student satisfaction with online learning

Abstract

One of the essential criteria in determining the quality of online learning is student satisfaction, this study looked into the influence of infrastructures on nursing student satisfaction with online learning. In this cross-sectional study, 300 nursing students filled out the online questionnaire (demographic, student perceptions of an online course, student satisfaction) from September to November 2021. Multiple linear regression model showed that the remaining variables, namely the design and organization of online learning and student evaluation in online courses, explain about 69.2% of the variance of satisfaction with online learning ( p < .05). The critical criteria in determining students’ satisfaction with online learning are “how to design and arrange online learning” and “how to evaluate students in online courses,” among other things. As a result, optimal planning should focus on these two variables, particularly the student assessment system, in order to reach a better level of satisfaction.
