The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning has developed Course Development Guidelines and a peer review process to provide faculty with recommendations on what a high quality course looks like and constructive feedback on the design and instruction of their online course.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact FCTL staff via phone or email.

Please be sure to enter a numeric score for each element in the rubric. Most importantly, please provide feedback in the designated areas, as this is the most valuable information fellow faculty can receive at the conclusion of the peer-review process.
