Online Course Peer Review

The line-up of speakers and presentation topics at this years RSP/ITeach conference looks impressive. I’m especially eager to hear the keynote speakers, Mark Taylor and Betsy Barefoot (here’s one of Betsy’s presentations about “Rethinking the First Year College Experience” http://www.sc.edu/fye/events/presentation/Betsysplenary-Phoenix.ppt#264,10,A — good stuff!)

Our LSC team of peer review leaders will also speak at this year’s conference. A summary of our presentation:

We’ll highlight the features of a high-quality online course, demonstrate tools for measuring quality, and illustrate a process for implementing peer course review. Using the MarylandOnline, Inc. Quality Matters program and rubric as a foundation, Lake Superior College has developed a faculty-driven continuous quality improvement program. Participants will receive information about the original documents prepared by MarylandOnline, Inc. and will receive copies of the adaptations crafted by Lake Superior College along with background on their customization.

Join us Friday from 2:45 – 4:00!
