course-quality-review

To audit online course quality, this skill evaluates course structure, objectives, and assessments against QM standards while analyzing teaching, social, and cognitive presence using the Community of Inquiry framework. It generates evidence-driven recommendations with tiered citations to inform course improvements.

Constructive alignment maps the connections between course objectives, learning activities, and assessments to ensure they support each other. This skill audits those mappings to identify alignment gaps, checking whether stated objectives are properly reinforced by activities and measured by assessments.

Yes, you can review course quality without a manifest. The skill operates standalone to perform structural, presence, and constructive alignment assessments, but loading an idstack manifest enables a richer analysis by providing deeper project context for the audit.

The best way to evaluate presence is using the Community of Inquiry framework to assess teaching, social, and cognitive dimensions. This skill analyzes these three presence types to forecast learning effectiveness and outputs evidence-driven recommendations for improvement.

When auditing course accessibility and materials, the analysis is grounded in established pedagogical frameworks like QM standards. However, the depth of structural gap identification and alignment problem detection increases significantly when an idstack manifest is provided versus operating in standalone mode.
