Online Course Design: A Review of National and Statewide Evaluation Instruments

• In Event: DDL - Evaluating Quality

Short Description

This research identifies seven evaluation instruments used nationally or in statewide systems in designing and developing online courses. We examined the physical qualities (i.e., number of standards and criteria) and coded the elements that guide the design of online courses. In our presentation, we will discuss in detail what these evaluation instruments focus on, their similarities and differences, and how these instruments impact course design in higher education.
