CVC Overview

From the “CVC About”: The California Virtual Campus – Online Education Initiative (CVC-OEI) is a collaborative effort among California Community Colleges (CCCs) to ensure that significantly more students are able to complete their educational goals by increasing both access to and success in high-quality online courses.

CVC Consortium: The consortium is a meeting and collaborative body of the majority of the California Community Colleges that regularly meets to discuss quality online course development and delivery in addition to increasing online pathways for students to complete degrees. Learn more about the consortium and participating colleges.
CVC Course Finder: The CVC has created an online course finder for students to search available online courses throughout participating California Community Colleges. As a home college, DVC students will be able to seamlessly enroll in other online courses while still maintaining their status as a DVC student. Transcripts and financial aid connect online to allow students more course options across multiple colleges (with less enrollment paperwork).
CVC Course Design Rubric/Resources: The CVC, alongside and in collaboration with the consortium, maintains and updates the CVC Course Design Rubric. Online courses that meet all standards can receive a “Quality Review” badge that appears on the CVC Course Finder when students are searching for courses. Our local Peer Online Mentorship Program (POMP) and Peer Online Course Review Alignment process (or Local POCR) will help instructors through alignment and badging.
