Meets QLT "Core 24"
Humboldt faculty are committed to offering high quality learning experiences to meet the needs of all students across all modalities. Developing and designing quality online and blended/hybrid courses include both challenges and strengths that are unique to the digital environment. Course review is a voluntary process that includes opportunities for reflection and engagement in the iterative process as we design and teach in digital spaces.
QLT Self-review
QLT Self-review
QLT self-review involves two steps.
Step 1: Use the Humboldt QLT Guide/Instrument to conduct a self-review of your course for fall/beyond.
- Please provide the course name, number, CRN, and semester.
- For each "Core 24" objective (highlighted in yellow), write Met or Not Met in the respective column. In each Feedback row, provide the location in your course where the objective is met by adding a link(s) and any comments
Step 2: When completed, subit your QLT Self-Review document to the Digitally Enhanced Teaching Hub (requires self-enroll).
QLT Collegial Teaching Observation
QLT Collegial Teaching Observation
If you choose to have a QLT Collegial Teaching Observation once the course is in session, you can send a request to the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at ctl@humboldt.edu and include your QLT Self-review to be shared with a peer reviewer. The CTL will coordinate a certified faculty peer reviewer to conduct the teaching observation, which will use the QLT Guide/Instrument (with specific focus on Section 5: Facilitation). Once complete, the CTL will provide you with a confidential report of the teaching observation and findings.

Teaching Enrichment Plan (optional)
Teaching is an ongoing process that provides opportunities to reflect and grow. The Teaching Enrichment Plan (TEP) is a tool to help you chart your own teaching action plan that can be used as a guide in exploring goals, strengths, and opportunities to further your teaching. The Center for Teaching and Learning is here to partner with you in your development journey.
