LIB100

One of my goals since joining the library team has been to build the LIB100 course and increase student enrollment. I have been teaching the course online since 2018 and have gathered materials to address the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative. It is my hope that students who take LIB100 feel seen and represented. To that end, I have used Canvas to create a course that follows the OEI CVC Rubric with an eye to DEI. The rubric addresses four areas: Content Presentation, Interaction, Assessment, and Accessibility. The course was evaluated as part of the Peer Online Course Review (POCR) pilot program initiated by the Distance Education Advisory Committee in June 2023. Here is an overview of the review.

Content Presentation:

The 14 elements for quality course design in this section address how content is organized and accessed in the course management system. Key elements include course navigation, learning objectives, and access to student support information.

The course received ratings of aligned or exemplary in each element and required no further revision.

Interaction:

The six elements in this section address instructor-initiated and student-initiated communication. Key elements of quality course design covered in this section include regular effective contact, both between and among instructors and students.

The course received ratings of aligned or exemplary in each element and required no further revision.

Assessment:

The eight elements in this section address the variety and effectiveness of assessments within the course. Key elements include the alignment of objectives and assessments, the clarity of instructions for completing activities, and evidence of timely and regular feedback.

The course received ratings of aligned or exemplary in each element and required no further revision.

Accessibility:

The 16 elements in this section are reviewed to determine if a student using assistive technologies will be able to access the instructor’s course content as required by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (also known as “508 Compliance”). The accessibility elements in Section D focus on instructor-generated content that is primarily under the control of faculty when developing a course. Since Section D addresses elements that are required to be present, the elements in this section, when applicable, are only marked as Incomplete or Aligned.

The course received ratings of aligned in each element and required no further revision.

Course Access

Course access was assigned to the reviewer at the Teacher level with full access to all aspects of the course. It is hoped that the reviewer was able to recognize the intent behind each assignment and that negotiation was intuitive and simple.
