OSCQR reviews, made simple
Use Simple Prep to organize OSCQR reviews, automate checks, and keep every course improvement moving.
Put OSCQR into practice across every online course
OSCQR gives institutions a shared standard for online course design. Simple Prep gives teams a practical way to apply the OSCQR standards across real courses, programs, and terms. Build a reusable review plan with configurable tasks, then choose which checks should run automatically and which require reviewer judgment.
Simple Prep pulls current data from the LMS, SIS, syllabus, and connected course materials. It tests that data against your rules and shows live course content beside manual review steps, so reviewers can verify each requirement without searching through modules and menus. Apply the same plan to a single course, a subject, or courses across campus. Dashboards and reports show course readiness, failed checks, and patterns your team can address.
