- Abstract
This text addresses issues concerning the online educational system from the perspective of quality standards - what quality means, what are the challenges of a quality online learning program, what are the best practices, advantages of learning within an online system, what aspects should be improved and strengthen in order to meet the beneficiaries' expectations and quality requirements. Interest in online learning and participation continued to grow, registering an increasing number of participants, especially since 2020, when schools and universities were forced to launch and develop new online learning programs to meet the current demand. The quality of the online education system is often criticized, as being asked if the quality of this system is similar to the one specific to conventional education. This study explores a series of aspects linked to and influencing the quality of online learning, taking into consideration that there is, sure, needed a framework to be implemented within universities in order to achieve a performing educational system, both for learning providers and also for the beneficiaries of the learning. However, all stakeholders have a common interest in achieving a performing education system to meet all expectations, and this is possible when measuring in terms of didactics, technology and administration. The most important aspects this text concerns are the following: are students as satisfied with online courses as they are with face-to-face instruction?; is online education meeting the social standards and the labour market requirements?; is online education developed within an organized system? can ITC (Information and Communication Technology) instruments meet the challenges generated by the physical distance between student and teacher? Can they provide added value to form challenging and soft skills and enrich learners' experience?
