Clemson Online is proud to announce the official Quality Matters (QM) certification of one course this winter: CE 8520: Schedule Impact Analysis, taught by Jesus M. de la Garza, PhD. The QM Rubric focuses specifically on the design of the course in a way that centers student learning. To achieve certification, courses must meet expectations in eight different areas, including learning objectives, assessments, learning activities, and accessibility. Clemson Online first reviews courses internally in coordination with the course representative before sending them out for an official review. This course was submitted as part of the 2024-25 QM Cohort and is listed in the Quality Matters directory of certified courses.
CE 8520 was reviewed by Digital Learning Strategists Dara Abimbade, PhD, and Millie Tullis, M.F.A. About the process, de la Garza said,
“The Quality Matters process is very rigorous and ensures that the end-product meets the highest standards for quality assurance in online and blended learning.”
Quality Matters is the global leader in effective online course design. Its review process is a research-based, comprehensive and collaborative process that helps produce well-designed, rigorous online courses in keeping with Clemson’s mission as a high seminary of learning.
QM reviews are now eligible for submission as evidence of teaching effectiveness in the Faculty Success Annual Reporting system, thanks to the support of the Office of Academic Affairs and the Provost. Instructors should consult their individual departments and programs to determine how QM reviews will be recognized.
Instructors who are interested in a Quality Matters review for their course or wanting to learn more about quality online instruction may the visit the QM at Clemson Canvas course or contact our QM Coordinator.
