Building an Online Course Using Canvas Pages

OEI Course Design Rubric

We strive to help you better understand the criteria of the OEI Rubric, which is used in the Peer Online Course Review ("POCR") process at Yuba College (also known as "validation" in the DE committee). The rubric has 4 sections (A-D) and multiple criteria in each section (e.g.: A4 or B6). If you plan to have a course reviewed in the DEC, we recommend you print the full rubric and keep it handy. We have also created a self-assessment document to help support your understanding of the rubric and guide your course development or revisions.
