title: Graduate students' perceptions of online teaching and relationship to preferred learning styles.
abstract: As the nursing faculty shortage continues, the online format is being used more frequently for delivery of graduate nursing courses. Its effect on students' learning and their perceptions of online teaching needs to be investigated. This descriptive study examines the students' learning styles; their perceptions of six online nurse educator courses, the faculty, and the asynchronous format; and their overall perceptions of online teaching and learning.
