About the Exemplary Course Program
The Exemplary Course Program recognizes the excellence in course design demonstrated by faculty and designers. The core of the program is the Exemplary Course Rubric, which defines key characteristics of high-quality courses within the framework of Course Design, Interaction and Collaboration, Assessment, and Learner Support.
Along with the NEW! rubric and a webinar series to help you learn more about the exemplary principles, Anthology celebrates the winners who developed and designed these exemplary courses. These educators and instructional designers are improving the quality of online learning at their institutions for their students. The Exemplary Course Award highlights their efforts.

ECP Cohort – Webinar Series
Join us as we discuss key characteristics of high-quality courses within the framework of Course Design, Interaction and Collaboration, Assessment Design, and Learner Support! Together we will review the Exemplary Course Program Rubric and what this can look like in Learn Original and Learn Ultra.
Our goal is for you to walk away feeling confident in your ability to self-assess your course. We also invite you to sign up to serve as a peer reviewer of courses submitted to the Exemplary Course Program.
ECP Rubric
The Exemplary Course Program Rubric uses numerical point values for each standard. These point values (from 1 to 5) have been assigned to indicate the relative importance of that standard, with values of 5 representing compulsory standards. Compulsory standards must be met to receive an Exemplary course award.
