Overview
The New FastTrack OEI Rubric Academy is beginning this Fall, 2024. Full-time and part-time faculty will be provided with personalized support to assist you in aligning your online courses to the CVC-OEI Course Design Rubric.
FastTrack is unique in that you will work collaboratively with a mentor throughout this process. Your mentor is an experienced online instructor and an online course designer who has both course design and accessibility expertise. Additionally, when your course is ready for an internal review, we have experienced course reviewers on the team who are your faculty peers. The FastTrack’s high-touch, high-support model, ensures that you get the support you need, when you need it. The outcome is that you end up with a course, that provides exemplary online learning opportunities for your students. In fact, the CVC-OEI has shown that courses aligned to the Rubric have almost a 5% greater success rate than courses which are not aligned. By aligning your online course(s) to the Rubric, you will also receive the coveted CVC-OEI's Quality Reviewed badge.
