Recently at the SUNY Conference on Instruction and Technology, Open SUNY COTE ‘officially’ launched the newest version of the Open SUNY Course Quality Review (OSCQR) rubric. This third edition of the rubric made changes to the organization of the standards, but did not introduce significant new content. This new edition incorporates feedback from dozens of campuses and online learning leaders. The following list itemizes some of the changes we made, and our thinking behind it.

Open SUNY Center for Online Teaching Excellence (COTE) is pleased to share the news that this year the New Media Consortium (NMC) annual Summer Conference will take place in Rochester, New York and hosted by the Rochester Institute of Technology MAGIC Center, June 14-16, 2016.

As long time members in this organization, we greatly value the NMC organization and community, and their efforts to drive innovation across various education sectors and landscapes. The NMC Horizon Reports are just one example of the research and analysis they provide to catalyze discussion, inform, and around which they build community. We encourage you not to miss this opportunity and hope you will take full advantage of attending an excellent national event that this year will take place in our own back yard.
