Course Design Review: Online Courses

The course-level review tool is available for improving the instructional design and accessibility of fully online courses using research-based criteria.

Why use the checklist?

Launching a successful online course is a complex and time-consuming process. This checklist provides helpful prompts to ensure that essential points are addressed and important details are tended to. With increasing numbers of students accessing your Canvas course from a mobile device, the checklist adds review items to optimize the mobile experience.


Recommended uses
