Exemplary Course Program

About the Program

Back by popular demand, the Exemplary Course Program (ECP) recognizes instructors and course designers whose courses demonstrate best practices in four major areas: course design, interaction and collaboration, assessment, and learner support.

The 2025 version of the ECP rubric is available now! You can use it to guide discussions around course design at your institution, and to evaluate which of your courses is ready for submission to the program.
