Overview: Course Review Process

Development of Course Sites for OE Faculty

The OE Subcommittee reviews course design to ensure all course shells meet minimum standards. The OE Subcommittee has developed an online course rubric derived from California Virtual Campus – Online Education Initiative (CVC-OEI) and the Peer Online Course Review (POCR) resources.

Essential Steps

Obtain all the necessary online delivery certification in CMS usage and pedagogy described above (the ITC and IOTL courses)
Request a development shell from the OE Coordinator.
Develop the course ensuring that all of the standards of the Rubric are met.
Notify the OE Coordinator that the course site is ready for review. The OE Coordinator will assign the course to two peer mentors. The peer mentors will have full access to the course and be assigned as students in the course. Peer mentors will complete their review within two weeks and will score the course site according to the Rubric. Their recommendations will be sent to the OE Subcommittee for final approval. One of the following recommendations will be made based upon the course site review:
- - Approved as presented
  - Conditionally approved with recommended changes
  - Not approved
