Both questionnaires have been validated byreferees. Cronbach alpha equation was used to measure stability. The datacollected was analyzed by SPSS package.The results revealed the criteria for quality of content and instructionaldesign, the support of the supervisors and learners, and administrativeservices of QOU e-learning quality standards in educational, technical andadministrative fields exist. There are no significant differences in the estimatedrates of Q.O.U faculty quality standards, due to gender or academic ranks.However, there was a difference in the estimated rate due to specialization.Based on the study results, it is recommended that QOU should workon approving its e-learning standards. It is also recommended that in lightof the growing competition in the applications of this type of educationboth regionally, and internationally, efforts should be directed to promotean e-learning quality culture.
