The Master Online Course Recognition Award (MOCRA) was begun in 2010. The competition was initiated by Missouri State Online in an effort to recognize the work of our faculty to design pedagogically superior courses.  Courses are evaluated by a strict set of quality standards by a panel of experts in the field of online course design.  The MOCRA recipients are models for other faculty who may be recognized in future competitions.
