The “Improving Your Online Course” workshop explores the QM Rubric and provides a framework to improve online courses’ quality. Participants use the QM Rubric to review their own online courses and develop a course improvement plan.
The content is based on the essential Specific Review Standards of the Quality Matters Rubric. Participants come away with a plan for course improvement, so enrolling in the workshop with a pre-developed online course is required.
Target audience
All faculty members (tenured, tenure-track, or term), staff with a teaching role, and instructional designers with a course they want to improve.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize the foundational concepts of Quality Matters.
