About the group

The Exemplary Course Program (ECP) recognizes excellence in course design demonstrated by faculty and designers.  Millions of educators and learners benefit from well-designed courses that take endless hours to perfect. Anthology offers this free program to give recognition to those who dedicate the time to reach these high standards.  

At the core of the ECP is the NEW Exemplary Course Program Rubric, which defines key characteristics of high-quality courses within the framework of course design, interaction and collaboration, assessment and learner support. The Rubric is offered under a Creative Commons license, and we encourage campuses to use it when working toward creating quality course design.
