RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Peer review is a long-standing practice in academia that can supply valuable information for summative or formative evaluation. The purpose of this article is to present an evidence-based peer review instrument developed by faculty to assess faculty teaching and practice in the online environment. The peer review instrument was designed using the community of inquiry framework and best practices for online teaching. The elements of teaching presence, social presence, and cognitive presence serve as the basis for expected faculty behaviors.
