Online Peer Review
Inver Hills is committed to improving the quality of online courses offered. In the spirit of continous improvement, a process and rubric were developed for an online peer review initative. This voluntary process is intended to support faculty in the online course development process by enlisting the aid of other online faculty members. You will find the attached rubric and annotations helpful as you begin or finish the development of your online class. Please note that the rubric is subject to change while it is in the process of being reviewed. The rubric was last revised by the Peer review team on August 15, 2007.
