This study illustrates a model for the implementation of a “Business-To-Consumer Electronic Commerce Transaction (B2C ECT)” system in a university course following the ISO 10008:2013 standard. Furthermore, this model includes four subsystems based on ISO 10001:2007 for a code of conduct, ISO 10002:2014 for complaints handling system, ISO 10004:2013 for monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 for information security. The scope of the B2C ECT system in the course considered products delivered by a course website and email. The methodology considered the creation of flowcharts, forms and examples of the processes required for ISO 10008 B2C ECT system and its subsystems in the course to facilitate its implementation. The created model can be self-implemented by a professor or implemented with the help of consultants or researchers. A professor can choose to implement the entire model with its subsystems or only some of them. Another option is that professors can adapt the model according to their needs. For example, they can cover products delivered only through a course website. Moreover, this research presents the first case study in the implementation of ISO 10008. It considers the application of the developed model for the course material delivered through the course site using the Moodle platform in an undergraduate engineering course in a university in western Canada. The implementation of the B2C ECT system in this undergraduate engineering course seems to have contributed to increase student satisfaction with the course website. Before the implementation of the B2C ECT system, on a 1 to 5 scale, student satisfaction with the course website had a median of 3.87, while after the implementation, it was 4.19. Furthermore, around 65% of students expressed that the course quality and satisfaction improved with actions taken because of the implementation of surveys and redesign of the course website.
