To improve an online course, it's important to review and reflect on it. This process, known as "closing the loop," involves evaluating various aspects of the course to improve student learning experiences, the curriculum, professional development, quality assurance, and personnel decisions. Using both quantitative and qualitative data from multiple sources is crucial, and involving students, institutions, and teaching communities is important. Closing the loop requires effective linkages between student learning outcomes and planning to drive the academic learning process.
