Call for Feedback!

Feedback Request on new course checklist: Marshall Online is upgrading its distance course review process in response to faculty feedback. The result of a collaborative effort among instructional designers and faculty, the Marshall H.O.M.E. Course Checklist focuses on both course design and delivery by drawing on best practices for quality assurance as well as customizing Marshall-specific standards for a humanistic experience. We invite you to review the H.O.M.E. Checklist, which is still under construction, in this short survey.
