When you submit your course for review, your instructional designer will check for standards that align with the Quality Matters rubric, the industry standard for distance learning education. The good news is that this short course aligns directly with QM standards, so your course getting started page and module 1 should already check off many, if not all, of the following boxes.
Please email olap@hpu.edu to request instructional design review of your completed module in Blackboard. This should only be done after completion of all short course modules and the self-evaluation at the end of the course. An instructional designer will be assigned to review your course using the Quality Matters standards. They will reach out for a consultation once review is complete (typically 2 weeks).
Please email 1) your name, 2) your HPU email address, 3) your course title, 4) your Blackboard course ID, and 5) your course map.
