OAB Resources


		Course Development Resources A Course Framework is available through Canvas Commons.This can be added to any course from Canvas Commons. Watch this video to see how you can add the Canvas Course Framework to your District course shell. Using this framework meets 10 of the required standards of the Online Course Checklist. OAB Self-Review Directions - All faculty are encouraged to complete a self-review of their course(s) using the OAB rubric in the Custom Review area of the Quality Matters online portal. The information you gather in the self-review is very useful to include in the Course Worksheet. Access the Quality Matters site to start a self-review, Course Representative submission of the Course Worksheet, and to attend QM free webinars. If an individual registers for a fee-based workshop through the Quality Matters site, they will be responsible for the cost of that workshop. Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) and other QM workshops are at no charge to the individual or department only if registered through the eLC.
