Is this Membership right for your organization?

Higher education (HE) publishers and course vendors that want to improve the quality of their courses and other instructional materials can use QM’s annotated Higher Education Publisher Rubric — along with Self Review and Internal Review tools — to start meeting QM Standards. When courses are ready to go through the Official QM Review process, they can become QM certified if they meet Standards at the 85% threshold. Offering courses that are QM certified gives publishers a competitive edge and will pique the interest of higher education organizations that want to offer high-quality courses based on QM Standards.
