The scorecard is available for free. However, you must be logged in as an institutional member to access the interactive scorecard.
Measure and improve the quality of your online programs.
The OLC Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Programs provides benchmarks and standards to help you evaluate your online learning programs. By using the OLC Scorecard, an administrator – regardless of size or type of institution – can determine strengths and weaknesses of their program, and initiate planning efforts towards areas of improvement. The scorecard can also be used to demonstrate elements of quality within the program, as well as an overall level of quality, to higher education accrediting bodies.
The Scorecard will give you the steps needed to identify, measure and quantify elements of quality within an online education program, providing the metrics to uncover and evaluate quality indicators in key categories, which include: Institutional Support, Technology Support. Course Development / Instructional Design, Course Structure, Teaching & Learning, Social and Student Engagement, Faculty Support, Student Support and Evaluations & Assessment.
The Scorecard rubric is available exclusively to OLC Institutional Members.
An Interactive Version is also available for OLC Institutional Members. It serves as an online, collaborative dashboard and repository to assess, enhance and measure the effectiveness of your programs online. Become an OLC Institutional Member.
