The SUNY Online Course Quality Review Rubric (OSCQR)

To help campuses ensure that their online courses are learner centered and well designed, a team of SUNY staff and campus stakeholders have designed the OSCQR rubric, a customizable and flexible tool for online course quality review. The OSCQR rubric specifically targets online course design. The OSCQR rubric is unique and differs from other online course quality rubrics in several ways. It is not restricted to mature online courses. The rubric can be used formatively with new online faculty to help guide, inform, and influence the design of their new online courses, and, it is non-evaluative.
