Course Description

This course is designed to better familiarize participants with the objectives of the Quality Learning and Teaching (QLT) Rubric to conduct either a peer or self-review of another online/blended course. In addition, you will be able to apply the QLT objectives to complete informal/formal campus peer reviews per your campus's process. This course is focused on acquiring a skill, so it will be repetitive in some parts to practice and master rating a QLT objective using the guidelines presented. We do offer another complementary course entitled "Introduction to Teaching Online Using the QLT Rubric" in which you learn techniques and are exposed to new technologies to better design and/or redesign your online/blended course(s). You must receive an 85% in this course to receive a certificate of completion.

This course is 3-weeks in length, asynchronous, and there is a structured course schedule with due dates that must be followed. While you can move ahead with the course modules and assignments, you are expected to follow the due dates as outlined in the schedule as peer-to-peer collaboration are integral components of all the courses. Start Here and Module 1 will open during Preview Week, Week 1 Modules 2 & 3 will open on Monday when the course launches, Week 2 Modules 4-7 will open Saturday of Week 1, and Week 3 Modules 8-12 will open Saturday of Week 2. It is expected that you will need to work on weekends to keep pace with the course due dates. If you fall behind, you must contact the facilitator as soon as possible to plan to catch up.
