This was design to be applied to a range of courses; from K-12 eLearning courses to corporate trainings. The focus is on ensuring learners are able to focus on learning while I as an instructional designer handle everything else. Key categories include course content, course design, accessibility and course functionality.

The process to create the rubric involved several iterations. In my initial draft, I decided to add all of the criteria that I could think of that could improve the course for the learner. However, after feedback and consideration, I realized that, though thorough, this checklist is unrealistic for actual real-world application as it would take an excessive amount of time and energy to complete.

In response, I decided to work to condense and combine criteria to ensure course quality is maintained while considering cost, both in time and financially. I also considered how this checklist will be used. The checklist will be used by me (or another qualified individual) then the information will be passed on and explained to stakeholders. This means that the checklist does not need immense detail as all of the details will be provided through the quality assurance process itself.

The use of this checklist is a great way to streamline the QA process for myself and other designers, especially since this checklist can be personalized to fit the individual needs for the learners. By doing iterative updates, course quality will continue to improve as research and continued experience refine the list.
