The second area for quality guidelines is course design. To date CCCOnline has not incorporated many course design issues into our quality process. We now include only two limited recommendations, both of which are in direct response to student input. The first of these is a schedule page which lists all gradable items and their due dates. The second is a standardized syllabus format. Beyond those sorts of somewhat technical issues we require that all courses meet the learning outcomes agreed upon by each discipline team.
There are numerous rubrics available for course evaluation. We’ve looked at the rubrics used by WebCT for their Exemplary Course Project, the Online Course Evaluation Project (funded by the Hewlett Foundation), eCollege, and Chico State. All of these have made positive impacts on our course design. We have yet to distill them into a rubric that exactly meets our requirements however.
