There is also an option for Fast-Track Certification Training! 

Overview

The Local Peer OnlineCourse Review (POCR) was established in 2014 by the CVC-OEI Professional Development Workgroup to ensure that students in the California Community College system have access to high-quality online courses designed to support student learning and success. This process is voluntary and separate from department instructional evaluations.

Our Local POCR Team will utilize the CVC-OEI Quality Course Design Rubric  to review a course for alignment using course design guidelines in content presentation, substantive interactions, assessments, and accessibility. These quality reviewed courses have an increased success rate for students.

Once aligned, courses will receive a “quality-reviewed” badge that is visible in the student search for courses in the California Community College Online Course Exchange. (cvc.edu) Badged courses rise to the top of the list for courses that have empty seats.

If you are an experienced online instructor who has taught a course for at least one full term online, please contact our Instructional Designers with Online Education to schedule a consultation.
