Peer Online Course Review (27SP-POCR-1)

📘 Description

@ONE provides Peer Online Course Review (POCR) training to members of local POCR teams at California Community Colleges. This is an advanced course designed for experienced online educators who are preparing to review courses using the 2027 Course Design Rubric. Each week, participants will apply a specific section of the rubric by reviewing a sample course, discussing it with peers, and using facilitator feedback to revise their original findings. By the end of the training, future reviewers will have written and revised a complete review of a sample course using the Course Design Rubric. Successful participants will develop strategies to offer collegial, rubric-based, actionable feedback to peers. @ONE coursework and/or local training in online course design and facilitation, plus experience teaching in Canvas, is strongly recommended as preparation for this fast-paced, intensive training.
