Dedicated Professional Development for Your Organization

Quality Matters offers many professional development workshops on-site or as dedicated online or virtual sessions for your group. And remember, with some memberships; institutions can have facilitators certified to deliver select QM workshops. Please use the form on this page to request dedicated sessions for your group. You can also contact QM’s Professional Development Registrar with any questions.

Dedicated synchronous on-site or virtual sessions are a great way to bring your group together to dive into QM Standards, course design and course improvement. A QM facilitator leads the 4-hour and full-day sessions and is an excellent method of connecting, providing feedback and creating a shared understanding of quality assurance for online learning.

Dedicated online workshops are great for accommodating your team members who need to complete professional development asynchronously. They may have different schedules or be in different locations that prohibit an onsite session. They can still interact and share the workshop experience by participating in the same session.

Dedicated 2-hour virtual sessions are excellent for providing topic or skill-specific professional development in an interactive, short course format. These two-hour workshops can be delivered as single sessions or grouped to address development goals. Facilitated collaboration provides participants — all wearing headsets — with a collegial learning environment.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS…

In a 2016 study,

99%

of those surveyed expressed that QM had a positive impact on their pedagogy.

“Looking at objective alignment has caused a measurable change in every course I teach because it forced me to look at the assumptions I was making about what [the students] were learning based on what they were being given.”
