Design Your Course

Quality Matters

Quality Matters™ (QM) is a faculty-centered review process designed to guide the development of online and blended (hybrid) courses. QM can serve as a detailed rubric which helps faculty think through course design rather than just focus on delivery or content. For more information about QM contact Deb Hatfield by email or call 502.852.0412.

Plan Your Course Best Practices

The content for your online course needs to be designed as a standalone; as if you were developing it to use without technology. The technology should complement your content not drive or replace your content!
