Online Course Peer Review

About

This blog was developed as a result of a two-day Online Course Peer Review Workshop held in May 2006 by Lake Superior College faculty members.  Participants of the workshop, representing at least 21 Minnesota state colleges and universities, overwhelmingly indicated an interest in continuing dialogue on this subject.  And so here we are…

Susan Brashaw has taught health and psychology courses at Lake Superior College for twelve years (eight years online).  She currently serves as LSC’s online course peer review coordinator and is the author/moderator of this blog.

Hanna Erpestad, Tina Johnson, Amy Jo Swing, and Sharon Kemper round out the crew of peer review team leaders at LSC.  An outstanding group!

 **The review rubric and annotations are adapted from the Quality Matters project that was awarded to MarylandOnline and sponsored in part by The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education.

Hello Susan,

I am a part of the conference planning committtee for the 4th Annual Minnesota Online Conference. This conference will be held June 13-15 @ BSU. Would you be interested in hosting a panel or a regular session for this conference titled:

Does Quality Still Matter? Session could focus on all the good work LSC and others have done over the past few years and outline ongoing work and perhaps a focus on how to connect all this to daily practice.

Rhonda Bender of NW Tech College developed a brand new nursing course and used the QM rubric to create the course. It is really something to see.

ELECT faculty are having a May meeting to talk about their continued use of the rubric in the joint online program they offer.

I am excited about your blog and the opportunit it presents for conversation.

Nice work!
