What can QM do for my course?
Simply by participating in a QM professional development workshop, you will come away with a greater toolkit for course design and development for your online and blended courses. If you go further and participate in a QM course review, the positive effects are undeniable! QM Course reviews result in better course design, which makes navigation easier for students, reduces barriers to student achievement, and results in better outcomes.
Courses that achieve a QM Certification by meeting quality expectations are nationally and internationally recognized.
