POCR Preparation
Instructor Preparation
A successful review process begins with solid instructor preparation. The skills and principles of effective online course design will translate to a course that meets all alignment points in the OEI Course Design Rubric and accessibility. The CVC-OEI team recommends using the following benchmarks as a guide to prepare instructors for course review:
-
Submit the POCR Application to indicate your interest and to request a copy of your course from a previous semester for the review process.
-
Meet competencies outlined in our Online Teaching & Design (OTD) (taught locally as GOTT 2) outcomes.
-
Demonstrate a working knowledge of the OEI Course Design Rubric.
-
Prepare Your Course:
-
Make sure each course has an Accessibility Review folder, in the Files Folder with ONLY the documents used as part of the current course content.
- Run Accessibility checkers: PopeTech and Cavnas and use the tools to fix all "errors".
-
-
-
Remove ALL duplicate images, folders, documents or other files from Files Folder that are not used in the course.
-
Run the "Link Validator" and fix all broken links! (Settings>Course Link Validator)
-
-
After preparing your course, complete a course prep form self assessment and submit it to disted@gavilan.edu. You can use the links in the form to understand particular criteria on the course deisgn rubric. It's ok if you have indicated "not sure" on your form. The review process can help you with this.
