Quality Matters
Quality Matters (QM) is a research-based national benchmark aimed at improving student learning experiences in online programs and courses. The QM curriculum:
- Introduces faculty to best practices in instructional design
- Provides rubrics for assessing online course design
- Outlines a peer-review process for continuous improvement of online and hybrid courses
Quality Matters certified CAE staff facilitate the QM program on our campus, which serves as a method for quality assurance of online course design. QM does not evaluate online teaching, nor is it an evaluation of the online instructor; it is focused solely on the design of the course.
