Conducting a review of your course is crucial to ensuring its quality and that it will provide the best possible experience for your learners. A review might take place before the course launches for the first time, or after it has seen a significant revision, perhaps in response to feedback. 

Face-to-face short courses 

For short courses taking place on campus, you may like to identify a critical friend, likely from your department, to review your course or session plan, considering aspects such as its sub-topics, structure, and learning activities. 

Online and blended short courses 

For online and blended short courses an academic review is also recommended, but the course itself is also subject to a quality assurance (QA) review covering functional, educational, and legal (e.g. copyright) aspects of your course. 

The QA review for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Extend and FutureLearn courses is conducted by the Online Learning team. at the start of your development (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Login required).
