Date: March 2-15, 2007
Location: Online
Maximum: 40 People

The Quality Matters^(TM) Project is designed to improve the quality of online courses by establishing a peer-review quality assurance process.  This training will explore the Quality Matters^(TM) Project and rubric and will provide you with the framework to improve the quality of your online course.  Participants in this hands-on workshop will use the Quality Matters^(TM) rubric to review their online course, and to identify strong areas of their course and generate ideas for improvements in other areas.  In addition, participants will develop a course improvement plan that includes an articulation the course modifications the faculty member wishes to make, the resources and support needed to make these modifications, and a timeline for making these modifications.  This session will be of interest to faculty, staff, and instructional designers, who have already developed an online course. ( As the basis for their work in this training session, participants will be asked to select and bring one of their previously-developed online courses to the training.)

The Quality Matters^(TM) Project is designed to improve the quality of online courses by establishing a peer-review quality assurance process.  This training will explore the Quality Matters^(TM) Project and processes and will train you to become a Quality Matters^(TM) Peer Course Reviewer. You will become familiar with the Quality Matters^(TM) toolset and participate in a peer course review of online courses using the review tools. Ideally, participants in this hands-on workshop should be experienced online instructors, instructional designers and/or faculty trainers. After successfully completing this training, you will be eligible to serve on a Quality Matters^(TM) peer course review. In addition you will gain ideas to improve your own courses.  This session will be of interest to faculty, staff, administrators, and instructional designers, with some prior experience in online course development and teaching.
