- earned online teaching credentials (referenced in the Online and Hybrid Course Offering DOPS policy)
- requested a Brightspace development shell to work on course development or redesign
- developed your course in your Brightspace development shell to incorporate course design elements, including:
- course-level student learning outcomes (SLOs)
- week/module-level introductions and learning objectives

- all assessments with all necessary directions and resources for students to complete the course
Once those steps have been completed, instructors can request a Course Design Review (OSCQR).
