Defining quality standards proves crucial to successful course design and implementation. “Quality Matters is a nationally recognized organization that promotes quality design of online and blended courses with a peer-review process.
After completing the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of the current standards for designing an effective online course. They will be able to:
A. Describe underlying principles of Quality Matters (QM)
B. Use QM Rubric and explain scoring system
