The Quality Matters (QM) Rubric offers participants a robust introduction to best practices, principles of instructional design, and research-based design for online and hybrid courses, all aimed at ensuring quality assurance.
"This ten-hour virtual workshop was of particular value to those unfamiliar with QM or those considering implementing a quality assurance process for online and blended learning," Khan stated. He further noted that it was a fantastic opportunity for thirty faculty members from a range of disciplines to gain deeper insights into the QM Rubric and its application in reviewing the design of online and blended courses.
The Deanship of E-Learning clarified that the QM Rubric is a highly regarded set of standards employed in the design of effective online courses, facilitated through a faculty peer review process. Attendees of the virtual workshop remarked on how the QM Rubric promotes increased learner engagement and achievement.
