QA Self-Review Guide
This guide is designed to assist you in conducting a Quality Assurance (QA) self-review of your course, a process integral to maintaining and enhancing the quality of our academic offerings at Dakota State University.
Understanding the Quality Assurance Self-Review
The QA self-review is a reflective exercise that allows you to scrutinize and evaluate your course before it undergoes a formal quality review. Based on the SDBOR Online Course Quality Assurance Rubric and AAC Guideline 5.8 (Revised 11/2018), this self-assessment is tailored to harness your comprehensive understanding of your course's design and content. It's an opportunity to ensure that your course not only aligns with academic standards but also embodies the principles of effective and engaging online learning.
The Significance of Self-Review in Upholding Course Excellence
Engaging in a self-review is more than a procedural step; it's an essential component of course development. This process allows you to critically analyze your course, identifying areas of strength and opportunities for enhancement. It also provides crucial insights to the course reviewers, facilitating a more efficient and comprehensive evaluation process. By intentionally detailing how each element of your course is integrated, you aid in expediting the review process, ensuring a swift and effective cycle of quality assurance.
