Applications for the upcoming Quality Matters Cohort are open! If you’re interested in having an online course reviewed through Clemson’s Quality Matters (QM) program, this is an excellent opportunity! The QM Cohort is a unique program for instructors, taking them through the process of learning about the QM Rubric, effective online teaching practices, and a course review.
The Quality Matters review process at Clemson is available to all instructors who teach online or hybrid courses. It’s an excellent way to demonstrate evidence of teaching effectiveness and improvement.
“Without a doubt, it was one of the most impactful and well-organized professional development activities that I participated in.” ~Farhang Forghanparast, Cohort Member AY ’23-24
