What the research says: Finding pieces of the puzzle and putting it together

QM Research Colleagues will briefly overview the most recent findings from three research projects that inform the development and work of QM standards and services.  Rigorous methodologies were used to identify themes and categories of quality online learning in three extensive reviews of (1) the independent research focused on higher education; (2) on K-12; and (3) on online instructor and teaching competencies.  These studies are examples of QM's continual grounding in educational research which is translated into actionable steps of standards of quality online learning and professional development for assuring quality peer review and application of quality online learning.
