Faculty

In Peer Online Course Review (POCR), faculty use the CVC-OEI Rubric’s research-based standards, Foothill’s Equity Affirmation, and interaction with colleagues to improve the student experience, increase online success outcomes, and close the equity gap.

Peer review allows faculty to share ideas and strategies with colleagues. The focus is on content presentation, assessment, interaction, accessibility, and equity.
