If you’ve been looking for solutions to help ensure that learners are engaging with high-quality courses, QM has them. Through course improvement, professional development and robust review processes, QM empowers you to deliver on the promise of online learning.

Whether you are part of an organizational membership or have signed up individually, make sure you are maximizing what QM has to offer. If you're not a member yet, see the options and start saving on professional development, Official Course Reviews and more.
QM’s five Rubrics are comprised of General and Specific Review Standards, allowing for complete course review. The Standards are research-supported and based on published best practices. QM Rubrics are an essential part of creating, certifying and maintaining quality course design.
Whether your organization is considering a quality assurance solution or has recently become a subscribing QM Member, communicating the value and process of QM can help stakeholders envision their part of the implementation.
