While the Quality Matters K-12 Secondary and K-12 Publisher Rubrics have, since their inception, been aligned with the National Standards for Quality Online Courses, there are some distinct differences.

The CRMS is a secure, automated, online tool used by QM Members to manage official and internal course reviews. It's based on the QM Rubric(s) associated with your membership and is used to evaluate or certify the design of online and blended courses.

QM Program Reviews are designed for mature programs able to provide a minimum of three consecutive years of data relevant to the criteria for obtaining a certification.

Review the guidelines on size and display for creating your poster presentation at a QM Conference.

Submitting proposals early is the best way to get the lowest registration price.

A good place to get a snapshot of research on the impact of QM is the QM Impact Summary.

An online tool exclusive to QM members that allows you to manage your own course design reviews using rubrics you design.

The QM Rubrics and processes are continuous, centered, collegial, and collaborative. QM's mission is to promote and improve the quality of online education and student learning through the use of a quality assurance system and professional development.

Several resources can help orient QM members who have a good understanding of the full QM Rubric and the QM process and aspire to do their own research related to QM.

Courses that successfully meet QM Review Standards in an official course review are eligible to carry the QM Certification Mark that is specific to the QM Rubric version used in the course review.
