Course Feedback Programs
Course review/feedback programs are opportunities to get feedback on your courses and teaching practice. The CTL offers course feedback options for online courses via the LEAP program, which involves a one-semester partnership with undergraduates who are trained in course design. Our membership with Quality Matters (QM) offers online course quality certification through an external review process. The CTL’s Peer Review Rubric for Online Courses offers a framework for self or peer review of a course and may be used for teaching evaluation as part of the tenure and promotion process. Finally, the Mid-Semester Feedback program is an evidence-based method for gathering student feedback and responding to expressed needs in an in-person or hybrid course midway through the teaching semester. Learn more and apply for each of these feedback programs below.

Mid-Semester Feedback
Mid-Semester Feedback (MSF) is a widely-practiced method for supporting in-person courses that uses a CTL instructional designer to conduct a discussion with students and to provide anonymous feedback to an instructor.
Peer Review Rubric
This rubric is intended for the peer review of online courses. The rubric will guide reviewers to examine major elements of the course design with a focus on the U.S. Department of Education Regular and Substantive Interaction (RSI) guidelines. The rubric can also be used for self-assessment purposes.
LEAP
In the Learner Experience Advocacy Program (LEAP), undergraduate students learn about course feedback strategies and partner with participating instructors to observe and share feedback on course design and delivery. The goals of the program are to meaningfully improve the learner experience at UAF, build community among instructor and student leaders, and provide professional development to students and instructors alike.
Quality Matters
Quality Matters (QM) is a nationally recognized peer review process for certifying quality in online courses
