Department/Program Review of Courses Incentive Program – The Regis Characteristics of High-Quality Online Courses (RCOHQOC) in Action
Instructional Design and Technology is announcing a new program to incentivize the use of the Regis Characteristics of High-Quality Online Courses to advance the design of online courses. This new program aims to ensure a department/program’s high standard of instruction is maintained by encouraging department/program representatives to evaluate online courses using the RCOHQOC. For each completed course evaluation, $100 will be transferred to the department. Up to $5000 will be transferred in the initial launch of the program in January 2022.
