This guide offers ten considerations that are consistent across online course quality evaluation
instruments, including rubrics and scorecards. Exemplary criteria from five open-access course
review rubrics will demonstrate these considerations throughout this guide. Use this guide to
inform your decisions about your own course review practices or the course review process at your
institution. You may find a rubric that works for your context as-is, or you may decide to adapt or
remix with your own standards. This guide is suitable for any educator, course designer/developer,
or administrator who is developing quality assurance practices for online and blended courses.
