Quality Matters Cohort Update

March 20, 2023

Get a status update on our inaugural QM Cohort!

Applying the Rubric

The inaugural QM Cohort is well underway and the participants have now completed the Applying the Quality Matters Rubric workshop (APPQMR). The intensive APPQMR provided participants with a strong understanding of the course review process, the QM Rubric, and how to apply it to their own courses. Next up will be their individual course reviews with certified peer reviewers from Clemson Online. Here is a sampling of what the participants said after completing the APPQMR:

  • “I was surprised how thorough the review process is – by completing this process any course – online or in person – can be improved! “

  • “I was surprised the feedback was more of a friendly tone rather than coming from a superior. The course design framework is like a roadmap and this I think will help be construct my courses going forward.”
  • “I was happy to learn how comprehensive accessibility considerations are [and] to see that we were made aware of diverse students’ needs.”

  • “I never knew about the “Inspect” tool on a browser to get to the HTML code. There’s really a lot to be learned about a webpage that I didn’t know was so easily accessible. How cool that it was right under my nose the whole time!”

If you’re interested in Quality Matters, the course review process, or upcoming QM Cohorts, reach out anytime! QM applies to any online or hybrid course, synchronous or asynchronous. We are happy to answer questions and talk about how QM can help you! Email Sharyn at semery@clemson.edu
