What Quality Matters Trainings are Available?
Applying the Quality Matter's Workshop (APPQMR)
Currently, NIC offers the APPQMR once a semester to interested faculty. The APPQMR provides an overview of the QM peer-review process and explains how to apply the QM Rubric to an online course. The APPQMR is a two-week online workshop that will take approximately 10-20 hours over the two-week period. Faculty who complete the workshop are eligible for one PDU. Contact eLearning for information about the next APPQMR.
Improving Your Online Course (IYOC)
The IYOC is a Quality Matters workshop designed to help you
improve an existing online course. By the end of the workshop you will develop
a full Course Improvement Plan for one of your online courses. Familiarity with
the QM Rubric and process will be helpful to you in the IYOC, but the APPQMR is
not a required pre-requisite for the workshop. The IYOC is a two-week online workshop that will take approximately 10-20 hours over the two-week period. Faculty who complete the workshop are eligible for one PDU. Contact eLearning for information about the next IYOC.
Request an Informal Course Review
If you would like feedback on your online courses based on the Quality Matter's Rubric or an outside set of eyes on specific parts of your course, contact elearning@nic.edu with your request.
