Quality Online Teaching and Learning Courses (QOTL)
Skyline College faculty who will teach an online or hybrid course need to successfully complete a five-week QOTL training in Canvas.
- Obtain approval from your dean to teach in the online modality
- Contact the Distance Education Coordinator about upcoming QOTL offerings and registration
- Complete QOTL
- Your course will be reviewed for approval*
The Quality Online Teaching and Learning course introduces the basics of using the Canvas learning management system and provides a series of hands-on exercises focused on the subject you teach. You will also interact with colleagues about online teaching pedagogy. View a prior QOTL Course Guide for reference.
*Any courses taught in an online or hybrid format must be approved via a course review process.
- During the QOTL course, faculty will create 80% of a course to be reviewed in this process.
- Compensation is provided for completion and submission of one hybrid or online course for the CTTL consultative review.
- The OEI Course Design rubric is used to evaluate the courses. This rubric, developed by California Community Colleges, establishes standards related to course design, interaction, collaboration, learner support, and accessibility.
