Quality Matters at IU: Applying the Quality Matters Rubric to Online Courses
Friday, December 10 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. | Online - Zoom
Register »Organizer(s): Douglas Jerolimov and Presenter(s): Douglas Jerolimov, Jeani Young
This workshop introduces faculty and staff to the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric and to the QM Process. Quality Matters is a nationally recognized quality assurance organization for online course design, and the QM Process is a faculty-led peer review process that uses the research-based standards (criteria) of the QM Rubric to certify online courses. Eventually, many online courses within the IU system will undergo the QM Process with the goal of achieving national QM recognition. Faculty may also use the QM Rubric as a guide to design online courses. And, for faculty who are interested, this course serves as a pre-requisite for QM's Peer Reviewer Course, which is a required course for faculty who seek certification as a QM Peer Reviewer, allowing them to participate in QM course reviews for courses created here at IU and at other universities.
