Background on QOLT

QOLT is a CSU recognition program and an instrument that supports our quality assurance practices at HSU and at the system level. The QOLT Instrument guides faculty in a process designed to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of blended and online courses, as well as to recognize exemplary practices in online learning and teaching. These research-based best practices apply across the learning formats, and we invite you to take a look at the HSU Quality Learning & Teaching (QLT) Best Practices Guide, an adaption of QOLT to use for all courses.
