Welcome to Quality Matters
Quality Matters (QM) is a faculty-centered, peer review process designed
to certify the quality of online courses and online components. Sponsored

assurance and continuous improvement in online education. Originating
from a FIPSE grant, Quality Matters is now a self-supporting organization
offering institutional subscriptions and a range of fee-based services
including Quality Matters-managed course reviews and an array of trainings.
