Standards\n \u2022 Higher Ed. Publisher Standards\n \u2022 K-12 Secondary Standards\n \u2022 K-12 Publisher Standards\n \u2022 Continuing or Professional Standards\n\nThe rubrics are also useful tools to use during the design process since they can be used as a checklist of key best practices.\n\nThe annotated rubrics are available for members, currently, the fee for an individual membership is approximately $175 a year per rubric.\n\nhttps://www.qualitymatters.org/qm-membership/benefits-fees\n\nThere are other rubrics available as well that I use often.\n\nThe University of Illinois has a useful rubric that they have released under a Creative Commons License which makes it free to use.\nTheir web-based rubric provides an excellent overview of best practices that can help with the design of online courses and they offer downloadable copies with room for comments and a checklist which can help when giving feedback on an already developed course.\nhttp://www.ion.uillinois.edu/initiatives/qoci/rubric.asp\n\nThe University of Southern Mississippi Learning Enhancement Center has an \u201cOnline Course Development Guide and Rubric\u201d It is essentially a rubric that I also like, while it doesn\u2019t have as many specifics as the others it is an excellent way to quickly communicate a course evaluation.\nhttp://ablendedmaricopa.pbworks.com/f/LEC_Online_course+rubric.pdf\n\nMichigan Community College Association has another rubric. One of the items I like about this rubric is that it covers the importance of support for the faculty as well as the importance of \u201ccourse maintenance\u201d which is not common in other rubrics. http://www.mccvlc.org/~staff/content.cfm?ID=108\n\nClayton Wright from Grant MacEwan College has a detailed outline that works as an excellent checklist for evaluating courses. It is quite comprehensive with over 100 points to check and can be used for a detailed review of courses.\nhttp://elearning.typepad.com/thelearnedman/ID/evaluatingcourses.pdf","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/0cf7bedd-6c4c-4034-86eb-407cbdb721a6/avatars-000671675906-w8o0tp-original.jpg"}
