The purpose of this study was to explore whether or not those who teach on-line courses perceive their current method of student course evaluations as an effective tool. From 20 significant statements, 5 themes emerged. Five instructors who work in 3 on-line universities participated in a focus group and completed a focus group questionnaire. From the focus group participants, 5 participants were invited to participate in in-depth interviews. The results of this study indicated that 3 on-line universities use the same course evaluation as that of off-line ones. It offers the conclusion that this type of student course evaluation tool does give the type of feedback necessary for the on-line environment. It also gives the educational implication that the more instructors receive information that is pertinent to the on-line environment and the dynamics that take place within such an environment, the more effectively they will be able to make their on-line courses.
