What the accreditation covers

Each accredited component of the platform was reviewed against criteria set out by the Canadian Journalism Foundation and the Ontario journalism education framework.

Reviews happen on a two-year cycle, with interim checks when significant content changes occur.

Quiz content

All question banks covering media law, ethics, and sourcing principles have been validated for factual accuracy and pedagogical soundness.

Assessment design

Grading rubrics and scoring logic follow standardized frameworks used in post-secondary journalism programs across the province.

Learning outcomes

Outcome statements for each module are mapped to the National Occupational Standards for journalism, giving participants a clear view of what each completed section certifies.

Instructor qualifications

Content creators and subject-matter reviewers hold credentials verified against the accreditor's minimum experience requirements.

The most recent audit, completed in spring 2024, assessed 312 individual quiz items across six topic areas.

Heard from participants

Feedback collected after the 2023–2024 audit cycle, from students and instructors who completed accredited modules.

"The feedback after each quiz was specific enough that I could tell exactly which part of the ethics guidelines I'd misread — not just that I was wrong."

Media law instructor

The question bank for defamation law was revised after the audit and the changes were noticeable. It now reflects how Canadian courts have actually applied the tests.

Knowing the content had been reviewed by an outside body made me take the results more seriously. A score here felt like it meant something.

We use the platform's accredited modules as part of our formal course credit requirements. The audit documentation made that approval process straightforward.
