Online learning is continually growing across the globe and a current concern in academia is whether students are learning at higher levels in this medium. The purpose of this study was to investigate faculty perceptions of student learning in online courses versus the traditional, face-to-face environment at a Hispanic-Serving institution. A survey instrument was created and distributed to faculty at one South Texas Hispanic serving institution to address the topic of faculty insight toward online learning. Results of the study found that there is a direct relationship between faculty tenure status, faculty who taught online courses, and faculty who taught online courses for five or more years with regards to perceptions of student online learning.
