This 6-week challenge will help faculty focus on specific tasks to work on for your fall courses as we prepare for the possibility of different teaching modalities. Each challenge is based on the TLTC’s simplified OSCQR (OPEN SUNY Course Quality Rubric) checklist. We hope that as you build your course, the checklist is helpful as some of the points are simple and mechanical and some are deeper and get to how a course can be designed and how students are evaluated.
Focus:
OSCQR 5.2 Expectations for interaction are clearly stated (how will students’ contributions be scored; how frequently do they need to contribute?)
Challenge:
Select one assignment that you will be doing in the fall that you would like to add a rubric to. Create the rubric for that assignment and connect it to the assignment in Blackboard.
