Online Peer Review

The Online Class Peer Review Process ensures quality design in online classes at Daytona State College, with oversight from the the Division of Online Studies and 18 full time faculty members who serve on the DSC Peer Reviewer Committee. In SP22, the members of the Peer Reviewer Committee made the recommendation to begin using the Quality Matters (QM) Higher Education Rubric, 6th ed, as the central document to guide the DSC peer review process. This recommendation supports the Florida Board of Governors 2025 SUS Strategic Plan for Online Education, which outlines a goal of identifying quality and high-quality online courses noted in the FloridaShines catalog. A Quality or High-Quality designation is a significant accomplishment that means an online course has met rigorous, research-based standards of course design in the following areas: Course Overview and Introduction Learning Objectives (Competencies) Assessment and Measurement Instructional Materials Learning Activities and Learner Interaction Course Technology Learner Support Accessibility and Usability.
