Peer Online Course Review (POCR)
Peer Online Course Review, also known as POCR, is the Distance Education Committee’s process to identify and badge quality online courses.
What is a Quality Online Course?
A Course is considered to be “Quality Reviewed” when it has met the requirements of the CVC Course Design Rubric.
What is the CVC Course Design Rubric?
The CVC Course Design Rubric is a course quality rubric that is used across all California Community Colleges. There are 4 sections and 44 elements in the rubric. Faculty who design and a facilitate an online course that is aligned to each of the 44 elements of the rubric meet the requirements to be considered a quality online course.
What does it take to earn the quality review badge?
The SDCCD POCR process is a process where a course is reviewed by several peers, as well as our Lead POCR Reviewer, in order to determine whether the course has met all of the 44 elements of the CVC Course Design Rubric.
Courses that are determined to have met the requirements of the rubric will be certified through our local process and will have a “Quality-Reviewed” badge in the CVC Course Exchange.
