Workshops are Aligned with the Course Design Rubric

Whether you're a seasoned educator or just starting, this library will host our professional development workshops, provide resources, and expand to explore innovative teaching and learning approaches. This toolkit is organized based on the Course Design Rubric.

The Rubric is intended to establish standards relating to course design, interaction and collaboration, assessment, learner support, and accessibility in order to ensure the provision of a high-quality learning environment that promotes student success and conforms to existing regulations.

In the development of these standards, the CVC-OEI team was fortunate to have access to significant work already undertaken in this area by @ONE, the CCC Distance Education Coordinator’s group, the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC), and the CCC Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) along with a variety of other local college and nationally established standards.

Section A: Content Presentation Content & Recordings

The 14 elements for quality course design in this section address how content is organized and accessed in the course management system. Key elements include course navigation, learning objectives, and access to student support information.
