External Review Toolkit for ODL and eLearning Courses

Abstract

This document or “toolkit” serves a few key purposes. First, it seeks to help those involved in the Open Educational Resource (OER) course development process do their work according to a few important underlying principles of good instructional design. Second, if you are a subject matter expert, curriculum developer, instructor, or administrator who has taken on the role of external reviewer, this toolkit should provide some clarity about what to expect from a well-designed course.
