Some of the articles you will find in the report include: * The Collaborative Approach to Developing Online Courses * Building Course Quality Systematically * Who Ya Gonna Call When a Course Needs Help? * Developing a Course Maintenance Process for Your Online Courses * What Learning Object Repositories Mean for Your Program

"A roadmap for instructors during the course design process or as a "self-evaluation" tool to assist instructors in revision of an existing online course using the rubric and suggested examples. "

Nice checklist for what should go into designing a course. Would be better if it had links to describe or go into detail on what each of those items are.

"ToOLS: Test of Online Learning Success*"

I like this and think we should make our own.... another subcommittee....?
