Quality Matters

The Quality Matters program created an inter-institutional continuous improvement model for assessing and assuring the quality of online courses.

QM identified 40 elements, distributed across eight broad standards and based on research literature and national standards, shown to positively impact student learning. These elements were then incorporated into a rubric and weighted from 1 (important) to 3 (essential).
