Desirable qualities:

To join the team:
- Please contact campus POCR lead Monica F. Ambalal (mambalal@peralta.edu) to inquire about becoming part of our local POCR team. While you do not have to be a certified reviewer to be on the team, you should however, demonstrate a desire to learn about alignment, the POCR rubric, and be willing to spend 2-3 hours a week working on your course.
- We will have monthly POCR meetings to track our progress.
Consider Signing Up to Become a POCR Reviewer
- At Merritt College, we have five certified POCR reviewers that have completed the class offered by @one which helps train faculty to become a local reviewer at their home campus. Classes are free and offered directly through @one. Please note that reviewer training should only be completed by advanced users of the Canvas LMS, and those that already have basic knowledge of accessibility.
- Classes are offered typically 2-3 times a year, and are completely asynchronous and facilitated
- Funding is available for POCR reviewers (TBA in Spring 2023)
