Quality Online Course Design Certification Program

The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo's goal is to assure the high quality and integrity of all online courses and to meet accreditation standards for our online programs. This is being accomplished through the Quality Online Course Design Certification program, a careful and systematic review of an online course using the Quality Online Course Review Rubric (download this form fillable Word (.docx) file). To get started, contact visit our Quality Online Course Certification program information.

View the Faculty Achievements in Distance Learning webpage, which highlights and celebrates our UH Hilo DL faculty who have worked hard towards creating and delivering quality online courses.
