Quality Matters (QM) is a nonprofit organization that developed a rubric to ensure that online courses align with a high level of quality to increase student engagement and success. Below, you will find links to an overview we created on how to apply the different QM standards in your courses as well as link to a list of the QM standards. Full QM rubrics are available upon request from the DL Department.

This document is what we call our "Course Readiness Checklist" it is designed to give you a concise list of things to make sure you have updated prior to the start of your courses. You can normally find this document embedded on your Instructor Course Requirements section in each of your courses.
Please note that your course manager (the person(s) with the "manager" role on your courses' Enrolled Users list) will perform a readiness audit one to two weeks prior to the start of your courses. The results of this audit will automatically be sent to the email address listed on your Moodle account. Keep an eye out for this as you will be required to complete any requested changes within 10 days of the completion of your audit.
