What is a Higher Ed Basic Membership?
If your institution is looking to prioritize student success by emphasizing factors such as learner engagement, accessibility and alignment of learning objectives with assessment and activities then this membership can help. With access to quality assurance tools and processes, faculty and staff can work toward achieving your institution’s goals, such as:
- A consistent and affordable way to ensure faculty are prepared to teach online.
- A consistent and affordable way to ensure faculty are prepared to maintain course quality over time.
- A way to demonstrate to stakeholders — accreditors, learners, etc. — that you are appropriately applying quality assurance and complying with standards for online education.
- A way to track how the significant investments made in developing online courses and programs is yielding intended results for quality.
The Higher Ed Basic Membership provides access to the Course Design Rubric Standards, course review tools and processes (many of which are included at no charge with the membership), discounted professional development, and community of practitioners necessary for achieving these goals.

How Does the $500 Voucher Work?
- Your Institution purchases the Higher Ed Basic Membership.
- A QM Coordinator from your institution is designated to oversee the QM account and serve as a point person.
- QM Staff set up the account and award the voucher. It will display in the institution’s account profile in MyQM.
- The institution has one year from the date the voucher is awarded to use the $500. (Example: if purchased on May 18, 2024, the voucher would expire on May 18, 2025.)
- When the institution is invoiced for QM services such as course reviews, professional development registrations or consulting, the balance of the voucher will be applied.
Member Services is always available to help you with questions about the voucher!
