摘要：This study attempts to examine the perceptions of college students regarding online/hybrid education, the criteria used for decision making and the drawbacks that may keep students from enrolling in online education. Studies by Thomerson and Smith [15], and by Leonard and Guha [7] demonstrate that there are various characteristics that affect students’ perceptions which were the basis for this study. The main factors collected from previous studies that were analyzed included effectiveness, convenience, and social interaction, and level of difficulty. Data were collected by distributing surveys through the internet. 146 usable questionnaires were returned. Factor analysis was performed based on the surveys returned and significant factors were found. These results lead to the proposal of a research model.
