QOCI Rubric Evaluation Scale
We wanted some way to collect quantitative data to make comparing results within departments and/or institutions easier. We started with a standard Likert Scale of 0 - 5; however, we felt this was too confining and did not allow for flexibility or weighting of criteria. Therefore, we decided to use narrative response types so that institutions could assign point values to each criterion as they see fit. Thus making the tool more universal. We recommend that institutions do not use this for evaluation purposes until standards have been introduced to faculty and design staff and benchmark data has been collected.

The narrative scale is below.

Non-Existent:
The criterion is not present, but should be, based on course design and content, or present, but not appropriate for this course.

Developing:
Some evidence of this criterion, but it needs to be presented more clearly or better developed.

Meets:
Evidence of this criterion is clear and is appropriate for this course. More could possibly be added.

Exceeds:
Evidence of this criterion is clear, appropriate for this course, and demonstrates best practices in a manner that models its use.

N/A
Not applicable based on course design and content.
