Course QM Self-Review
As a member of a subscribing institution, you can use the rubric with the online Self-Review Tool.
This easy to use system allows you to
- Identify standards met or not met
- Write evidence of meeting the standard
- Write suggestions for improvement
- Share your review with colleagues and mentors.
If you are a seasoned online instructor at Mesa Community College, use the Quality Matters (QM) Self-Review tool tool to refine your online course. Document how your course meets the QM Essential (3pt.) Standards to earn a $350 stipend.
