Este estudio tiene por objetivo conceptualizar la calidad de educación superior online (ESOL) desde el punto de vista de diferentes agentes partícipes de la modalidad. Para ello, pedimos a estudiantes (n=3.152), docentes (n=727) e informantes (n=50) de 18 instituciones de educación superior (IES) en Chile con carreras de grado en modalidad online, que señalaran los conceptos que asocian a una ESOL de calidad. A través de una metodología cualitativa que combina métodos deductivos e inductivos y lexicometría, analizamos los datos recogidos a través de cuestionarios y entrevistas. Los hallazgos de este estudio muestran como en la ESOL coexiste una visión tradicional sobre la calidad educativa a través de conceptos vinculados al “perfil de egreso”, la “estandarización” y la “acreditación”, con perspectivas emergentes que refuerzan las particularidades de la educación online, reflejadas en conceptos como la conciliación, el diseño pedagógico, la equidad, el valor de la tecnología, el acompañamiento institucional o las cualidades individuales. Destaca que la “flexibilidad” y el “aprendizaje” son los conceptos más mencionados por estudiantes y docentes respectivamente. Este artículo aporta nuevas categorías para conceptualizar la calidad de la ESOL, al incorporar elementos propios de la formación de personas adultas y de la virtualidad como parte de sus significados. Plantear la calidad educativa de forma contextual y desde un enfoque de equidad es parte de los desafíos de una modalidad en continuo crecimiento y con enorme potencial en el marco de la sociedad digital global.
