About the Group

The Exemplary Course Program recognizes the excellence in course design demonstrated by faculty and designers.  Millions of educators and learners benefit from well-designed courses that take endless hours to perfect. Anthology offers this free program to give recognition to those who dedicate the time to reach these high standards. 
 

The new submission window will be on February 5, 2024!


The core of the program is the NEW Exemplary Course Rubric, which defines key characteristics of high-quality courses within the framework of Course Design, Interaction and Collaboration, Assessment, and Learner Support. The Rubric is offered under a Creative Commons license, and we encourage campuses to reuse and remix it when working toward creating quality course design.

Having done a few reviews now, it would be useful if a reviewer (once they've finished, so they're not influenced!) could see the other review(s) of the same course to see how we match up. I have had some where I have been unsure as to a ...

Hi, I would like to verify the total points on the new rubric. The document indicates 191 points, but when I add up all the points, the total comes to 192. Could you please provide some clarification on this? Thanks Raghad

I've just done my two reviews, and I've a few thoughts on the process. (I did 3 in previous years)  1: It's always interesting to see others' courses.  2: I've got so used to Ultra, as that's what we use, that it was useful to see an older ...
