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.

First:

  1. Submit application or email the POCR Lead, slawrence@gavilan.edu

  2. Attend a short orientation set up by the POCR Lead, after receiving your application. 

  3. Be familiar with Introduction to Asynchronous Online Teaching and Learning outcomes (taught locally as GOTT 2, or comparable).

  4. Familiarize yourself with the OEI Course Design Rubric. <--New 2027 version

  5. Enroll in Section -0-: A Guided Pathway Through Course Design to prep your course.

Next:

  1. During the orientation you will let us know the course you are submitting for review. It should be a course from a past semester.

    • Send an email with the title of the course and the section number  to: disted@gavilan.edu 
    • We will make a copy and all review work will be done in this shell.

Lastly:

  1. Prepare Your Course:

    • Remove ALL images, folders, documents or other files from Files Folder that are not used in the course.

    • Run Accessibility checkers

    • Run the "Link Validator" and fix all broken links! (Settings>Course Link Validator)

When you finish your prep work, complete this self assessment and submit it to disted@gavilan.edu.  It's ok if you have indicated "not sure" on your form. You can use the links in the form to understand particular criteria on the course design rubric. The review process can help you with this.
