Course Refresh (Revise an Existing Course)
The course refresh process guides faculty through revising and updating existing distance modality courses. Using the OSCQR Rubric as a reference, faculty work one-on-one with an instructional designer to review and enhance their course. This is a paid opportunity, offering up to 40 hours at the Course Development (CD) rate.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of Foundations of Course Design (FCD)
- Approval from your dean
- Ownership of the course

Course Development - New Course or Delivery Format

Faculty develop courses in collaboration with instructional designers and ATC staff, guided by the OSCQR Rubric. This is a paid opportunity, offering up to 70 hours at the Course Development (CD) rate.

Course Assessment
Are you ready for an in-depth walk-through with an Instructional Designer? We know by now you've been working with OSCQR, the research-based, customized course quality rubric designed originally at the State University of New York System. This course rubric provides measures with current best practices to create a class that emphasizes regular student engagement and meaningful assessment. Our ID team can help you assess your course with the OSCQR rubric and the following checklist.
