6 The QM Approach QM is a faculty-driven, peer review process that is Collaborative Collegial Continuous Centered - in academic foundation - around student learning
7 Factors Affecting Course Quality
8 QM s Role in Quality Assurance The QM Rubric looks at course design The harnessing of technology to deliver instruction and promote student learning QM provides a process for peer-to-peer feedback for faculty in the continuous improvement of their course and certifies courses as meeting shared Standards of best practice Quality Matters is not the complete answer to quality assurance for online education, but it can be a critical component
9 What QM is NOT About Not about an individual instructor (it s about the course) Not about faculty evaluation (it s about course quality) Not about judgment (it s about diagnosis and improvement) Not about win/lose or pass/fail (it s about continuous improvement in a supportive environment)

22 What to Expect from Course Reviews Consistency and Rigor Professionalism and Commitment Useful and Constructive Feedback Positive Outcomes for Faculty 61% of QM-managed course reviews meet standards upon initial review (but all can meet after amendment)
23 Peer Feedback The peer feedback provided in a course review is collegial in tone and language; however, the reviews are rigorous and even courses that meet Standards will benefit from the detailed, specific, and relevant feedback provided.
24 QM Certification of Courses Course reviews take 4-6 weeks; 20-week window for reviews, including any amendments, to be completed. Courses that successfully meet QM Rubric Standards in an official course review are eligible to carry the QM Certification Mark. QM recognition is provided by year recognized.

37 What Faculty are Saying Sample comments from course representatives review exit survey I was too close to see what could be improved. Provides a great way to get an objective view of your course. It made all of my online courses better. It provides a view from a more student oriented perspective. Many elements that might contribute to a student withdrawing can be eliminated.
38 What Faculty are Saying Sample comments from Peer Reviewers on review exit survey I always learn new wonderful approaches from viewing other courses and working with expert peer reviewers. Whenever I read the annotations, I make changes to my courses. I always find reviews to be a learning experience. This experience was very rewarding for me as both an educator and course developer. It s a great tool for honing your own course.
