Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research

As demand for online courses and the flexibility they provide increases, it is essential for institutions and their administrators to monitor and assess the quality of online course design and delivery through a systematic review process. Developing such a process can, in turn, support institutional and programmatic accreditation efforts as well as provide data for both professional development and human resource decisions.

Through case studies, artifacts, discussion, and small group activities, participants will share their perspectives and experience while gaining insight on and practicing with methods of designing, delivering, and reviewing online course content.

After participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Articulate best practices in quality online course design and delivery
  • Identify when and how best practices in online course design are implemented
  • Develop a plan to review online courses to determine parity between face-to-face and online content quality an rigor
