Whenever a course has been newly developed to be taught online, or whenever an existing online course undergoes a revamp/redevelopment, the SHSU Online Technical Evaluation is the mechanism used to provide actionable feedback on the suitability and quality of the course for online delivery. It also documents that an online course has been fully developed.
Derived from the rubric, the Technical Evaluation provides both SHSU Online and academic departments the opportunity to document evidence of sound pedagogical practices and establishes quality assurance standards in the online course environment.
