Checklists or Rubrics for Review of Online Courses

A straightforward online score sheet.

 

Weber State University

http://wsuonline.weber.edu/faculty/PeerReview.htm

Includes standards of good practice and a course review score sheet.

 

Michigan Virtual University

http://standards.mivu.org/evaluator/

This provides an evaluation tool for online courses that is likely to be intimidating to faculty. The introduction states, “Although there are no hard and fast rules, you should be able to completely rate short (3-4 hour) stand-alone courses in 2-4 hours and should be able to evaluate a long (quarter or semester) interactive, facilitated course in 10 to 20 hours. You can use our Course Evaluator and "cut corners" to get a quick evaluation of the course quality, but you will lose significant accuracy in the process. Evaluations will also be most accurate if conducted by a trained instructional designer.

 

Florida Gulf Coast University

http://www.fgcu.edu/onlinedesign/newchecklist/

Only the first page of this checklist appears to be available outside of the FCGU campus community. But the linked page “Principles of Online Design” would be useful in developing your own scoring sheet.

 

California State University, Chico

http://www.csuchico.edu/tlp/onlineLearning/rubric/

Includes a rubric for online instruction, evaluation forms, and sample course materials that exemplify the quality standards in the rubric.
