Evaluation of Faculty Teaching Online Courses. The goal of the online course evaluation process is to ensure that the online courses being taught are similar in scope, quality, and requirements as the same courses taught in a traditional format. Further, the evaluation is meant to develop the skills of online instructors and for the methods, techniques, and best practices in online instruction to be shared among peer faculty members. To that end, the online evaluation process is designed primarily to review and improve the online course delivery and content. However, for teaching faculty members who regularly teach online courses as part of their teaching load, the online course evaluation should be used by the evaluation team as an additional peer review of teaching in the contract, regular or tenure review facets of faculty evaluation, though it may not take the place of the formal classroom observations as described in Articles 10 and 11 of this agreement. If an online course is chosen for evaluation, at least one evaluator must have experience/training in online course teaching/evaluation. District administrative officers have the same rights to informal review of online instruction as they possess for traditionally delivered instruction.

If an online course is chosen for evaluation, at least one evaluator must have experience/training in online course teaching/evaluation. The observation of the online class should include the faculty member sitting with the Evaluator to explain the class structure and help the evaluator move through the course. The Evaluator will be given access to the online course as a “student” so it can be “observed” in the same fashion as a face to face class observation. District administrative officers have the same rights to informal review of online instruction as they possess for traditionally delivered instruction.
