What's POCR Buy-In
Established in Fall 2023. The program has been designed to help participants apply POCR-aligned DesignPLUS templates to asynchronous online courses. As the templates are applied to course content, it will help participants begin to align their courses to the criteria in the CVC/OEI Course Design Rubric. The rubric was developed to establish standards in course design that promote student success and conform to existing regulations.
At the end of the POCR Buy-In program we encourage participants to review their courses, make additional changes as needed, and then submit the course to be quality badged via the POCR Review Process.
Participants get:
- Development course container with pre-laoded templates
- Five guided HyFlex workshops
- Instructional videos in a Canvas course
- One-on-one time and office hours with our POCR Trainers
- Suggested target dates to manage workflow
Testimonials and Advice
"The videos and zoom sessions were very helpful and the one-on-one time was essential. It was great to do little bits over many weeks, but also to have flexible deadlines."
"It's so rewarding to see the course turn from "meh" to pretty once you get the hang of it. I know my students will appreciate the eye-catching and consistent look of each page."
"Embrace the process. You will work hard, but you will learn amazing things that will be incredibly useful for ALL of your future courses. The time you invest now will pay off with big rewards later."
"Make time to apply weekly concepts/templates."
"Stick with it and ask for help early if instructions aren't clear."
- Try not to fixate on every detail.
- Focuson creating universal templates that will work well for YOUR class - it's okay to make changes to what's here.
- Find a Buy-In partner to support you with a lot of "That looks awesome!" through the process.
"Plan accordingly - it can be very time consuming. Reach out for help if style/formatting issues arise."
