QM Success Stories
There is no substitute for experience! Your colleagues who have experience meeting QM's rigorous course design Standards and implementing QM on their campuses can provide you with valuable insights and experience. "QM Success Stories" webinars are presented by your colleagues and fellow members. They will share their experiences on topics like these and more:
- How do I create a plan for implementing QM at my organization?
- What does a course look like that has met QM Standards?
The sessions are scheduled once per month and are FREE for members only! Space is limited to the first 500 registrants. You can register once and view the webinar with colleagues. The webinars are also live captioned! Can't make it? All QM Success Stories are recorded and available to subscribers after the session in the Reference Library located in MyQM approximately two-weeks after the session.

Establishing Team Tools that Promote Evidence-based Course Design
Jami Nininger, Assistant Dean Distance Education, Mount Carmel College of Nursing
In today's higher education landscape, faculty are met with competing priorities in the face of limited time. As such, the proposition of approaching online course design through structures determined to be beyond those traditionally used is often met with resistance. Building faculty buy-in for embracing evidence-based course design is essential for the promotion of quality in online education. This session describes one team's journey in creating design templates that engaged faculty in course design and ignited interest in overall course design and certification initiatives.
Webinar begins at 1:30 p.m. ET, 12:30 p.m. CT, 11:30 a.m. MT, 10:30 a.m. PT

The Role of Research in Developing the Sixth Edition of the QM Higher Education Rubric for Course Design
Presented by QM Staff, Research Colleagues, and Guest Experts, including Brenda Boyd, Barbra Burch, Dr. Yaping Gao, Wade Lee, Dr. Kay Shattuck, Dr. Bethany Simunich, and Dr. Whitney Zimmerman
The Sixth Edition of the QM Higher Education Rubric represents, in a very real sense, a fundamental outcome of the ongoing design-based research project at the core of Quality Matters. The work of the vast QM community, in putting educational theory and research into widely contextualized application, is at the heart of the validation process for QM’s quality Standards and tools. This webinar will provide an overview of the research conducted to assist with the Rubric update. It will include a presentation of the Rubric update process, the research included, the literature review process, and explanations of other important data collection and analysis.
