Course Feedback Programs

Course review/feedback programs are opportunities to get feedback on your courses and teaching practice. The CTL offers course feedback options for online courses via the LEAP program, which involves a one-semester partnership with undergraduates who are trained in course design. Our membership with Quality Matters (QM) offers online course quality certification through an external review process. The CTL鈥檚 Peer Review Rubric for Online Courses offers a framework for self or peer review of a course and may be used for teaching evaluation as part of the tenure and promotion process. Finally, the Mid-Semester Feedback program is an evidence-based method for gathering student feedback and responding to expressed needs in an in-person or hybrid course midway through the teaching semester. Learn more and apply for each of these feedback programs below.

Learner Experience Advocacy Program (LEAP)
In the Learner Experience Advocacy Program, undergraduate students learn about course feedback strategies and partner with participating instructors to observe and share feedback on course design and delivery. 
Mid-Semester Feedback Program
Mid-Semester Feedback (MSF) is a widely-practiced method for supporting in-person courses. At 有料盒子视频, CTL instructional designers can partner with instructors to conduct discussions with students and provide anonymous feedback to instructors.
Quality Matters
Developing and recognizing quality online courses and programs.
This rubric is intended for the peer review of online courses. The rubric will guide reviewers to examine major elements of the course design with a focus on the U.S. Department of Education Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) guidelines. The rubric can also be used for self-assessment purposes.
For those who are just getting started with online teaching who want to get their course up and running at the beginning of the semester, we recommend the 鈥淏asics for Effective Online Courses,鈥 checklist. This checklist covers the essential features of a solid, no-frills course at 有料盒子视频, including policies and regulations that apply particularly to online asynchronous courses. For instructors who are new to teaching online, or have a lot of courses to build before the semester begins, this 2-page checklist is a good place to start.
