Thank you to CSU Chico for developing a wonderful rubric to evaluate the effectiveiness of online instruction. The rubric rates instructional websites on six different categories:
- Learner Support and Resources
- Instructional Design and Delivery
- Organization and Design
- Assessment and Evaluation of Student Learning
- Innovative Teaching with Technology
- Faculty Use of Student Feedback
I think these are very appropriate and easily digestible categories. The use of a rubric helps bring a quantifable measurement to a qualitative tool like an online course.
