What is the review process?
All online courses will be reviewed using the Online Course Requirements (OCR). A member of the eLearning Team will review your course to ensure all requirements are met. The review process is also an opportunity for the DL Team to provide you with our customized instructional design services.
How do you identify online courses that need to be reviewed?
Each course taught online by a unique faculty member will be reviewed. For example, if Kathy teaches PSY150-N01, PSY281-N01, and PSY281-N02 our DL Team would review Kathy’s PSY150 and one section of PSY281.
