Quality Assurance
Why course design matters.
A well-structured course improves student engagement, reduces confusion, and supports learning outcomes - regardless of the mode of delivery.
The Sheridan College Online & Blended Course Quality Assurance Rubric is a practical tool to help faculty assess and refine their course structure, materials, and assessments.
What This Rubric Is (and Isn’t)
✅ A framework for clarity, engagement, and alignment with best practices
❌ Not a rigid checklist or compliance tool
While designed for online and blended learning, its principles apply to all course formats - in-person, synchronous, and asynchronous courses.
How It Helps
- Ensures learning objectives, materials, and assessments work together.
- Provides a final check before launching a course.
- Helps create a clear, engaging, and effective learning experience.
