Regardless, online education appearsto be the darling of higher education leadership likely because it represented nearly three quartersof all enrollment increases last year. However, there is a gap in research regarding the humanfactor probably due to lack of measurability of the subject. The primary objective of this paper isto measure how the separation of teacher and student in online courses influences the student’sperception of the quality of instruction. To measure students’ perception, a survey based upon sixstatements was given to both face-to-face (FTF) and online as well as undergraduate andgraduate. In every case, there was a significant difference in the means between online studentsand FTF students (both FTF and online undergraduate students plus FTF and online graduatestudents). This difference plainly favored FTF instruction for both undergraduate and graduatestudents. Additionally, of the six statements, the data demonstrated that instructor availability isthe primary missing factor in online courses.
