Overview:
This resource hub is a repository of materials, references and tools for independent exploration and learning.  This site offers a flexible and unstructured learning experience, allowing you to navigate the content at your own pace and explore diverse topics without the constraints of prerequisites or a prescribed sequence. This format encourages self-directed learning, enabling you to delve into the material based on your needs.

This site is a resource and guide to help you implement MU Extension's online course continuous improvement process.  Your first time using our Course Quality Review process, consider the QCR something to aspire to, not a judgement on your existing course or a barrier to offering your course.

Here, you'll find information and resources to support Quality Course Reviews, the foundation of online course continuous improvement. There are several ways to leverage our Quality Course Review (QCR) form and resources.

  • Use the form and this site during online course development to build quality into your course.
  • Conduct a self-review of your course.
  • Request Learning and Teaching Services or peer conduct a QCR and work with you to revise your course.
