Quality Matters; Master Course Reviewer

For those of you interested, Dr. Gibson and myself are participating in the Quality Matters Master Master Reviewer Course the past two weeks. If you are not familiar with Quality Matters, it's an assessment tool used to evaluate quality of online courses. QM uses a rubric designed to be both a self-assessment tool and a support for QM Professional Development workshops. Faculty, course designers and course developers can use the rubric to design and build online and blended courses to meet the specific course standards provided.

The first workshop we would recommend taking is the Applying the Quality Matters Workshop which you can receive certification through our Jumpstart Design and Delivery workshop that is offered each quarter at Emporia State University. The second workshop is becoming a Peer Reviewer, where you can review other colleagues courses across the nation. The third workshop is the Master Course Reviewer whereas you can lead the collegial review process for teams across the nation.

I had the opportunity, as part of the Master Course Reviewer course, to develop a video that outlines the QM Review process:

As you can see, there are several phases to the QM process but having a QM review is an excellent way to ensure you are offering the highest quality of instruction for our students. Are you interested in learning more? Let's visit!
