Students’ feedbacks were also collected. The results were as follows: 1) online lessons consisted of documents, sign language videos with closed captions, pre-post tests, exercises, glossaries, and user manual. 2) results of the online lesson quality assessment by the educational technology and Thai sign language experts were at good level, while the contents experts were at fair level. 3) results of the online lesson quality assessment by students indicated that the post-test scores differed significantly at 0.01 level.
