Description: The Learning Technology team at Polk State College has developed a Quality Online Course Design Rubric to ensure a standard of quality course design among the growing number of online course offerings at the College.

This webinar will discuss the development process of the Quality Online Course Design Rubric which combines the Essential Standards from the Quality Matters Rubric 6th ed. for Higher Education with the College's internal evaluative instruments, procedures, and guidelines for teaching online and how its application is used by instructional designers and faculty via a Quality Course Review Process.
