Official QM Course Certifications

July 31, 2023

Amy Pope, Ph.D.

Clemson Online is proud to announce the official Quality Matters (QM) certification of two courses this summer: Physics 2070 taught by Principal Lecturer Amy Pope and Management 2010 taught by Lecturer Liz Laxton. 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. Both courses will be listed in the Quality Matters directory of certified courses.

PHYS 2070, General Physics I, was reviewed by Digital Learning Manager Sharyn Emery, Ph.D., and Associate Director of Online Development Lori Kinley, Ph.D. About the process, Pope said, “The feedback that was provided by the internal reviewers on my course was exceptional and very easy to implement within my course frame.”

MGT 2010, Principles of Management, was reviewed by Kinley and Digital Learning Strategist Leslie Fuller, Ph.D. Laxton writes, 

Working with the Clemson Online team was a delight and very informative when preparing my course for student success in the classroom. The QM process helps the instructor to set their course up in a way that allows the student’s curricular needs to be met with care and efficiency. The process of QM both internally, facilitated by Clemson Online, and externally was a seamless process and allowed my course to be appointed well for the external review.”
