Troy University

The Online Course Evaluation Rubric is the standard by which all online courses at Troy University are measured.  Course evaluations are performed on a regular basis to ensure that quality and academic excellence is presented within the online environment via the Blackboard Course Management System. 

Instructors must score a minimum of 80% in order to maintain their eligibility to deliver course material via Blackboard at Troy University.  Failure to achieve the minimum required score will result in additional training that specifically addresses the areas of poor ability.  A second course evaluation will then be performed so that the instructor will be able to retain their eligibility to use and deliver courses via  the Blackboard Course Management System at Troy University.
