Peer Online Course Review (POCR) was established in 2014 by the CVC-OEI Professional Development Workgroup to ensure students in the California Community College system have access to high-quality online courses designed to support student learning and success.

The rubric has four sections -- Content Presentation, Interaction, Assessment, and Accessibility -- with a total of 44 elements between them.
