The “Improving Your Online Course” workshop explores the QM Rubric and provides a framework to improve the quality of online courses. 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.

Recommended For

Faculty, Adjunct Instructors, and Instructional Designers with an online or hybrid course they want to improve.

Apply the essential Specific Review Standards of the Quality Matters Rubric to your own online course.

An online or hybrid course to improve.
