Miami Online’s High Quality Courses
To assess the quality of online course offerings, Miami Online has developed a Quality Standards for Miami Online Courses scorecard. This Miami-specific set of quality standards incorporates and builds upon industry best practices and various existing quality review processes (e.g., Quality Matters, Online Learning Consortium's OSCQR). Every course that receives Miami Online's full support scores 85 percent or higher, surpassing expectations set by industry peers.
The Course Development Agreement indicates that a course must reach full development and meet or surpass quality standard expectations. If an online class does not meet these standards, it cannot be authorized for use in a Miami Online program.
