QM Rubric

Alignment

Unique to the QM Rubric critical course components, Standards 2-6, reinforce one another to ensure that students achieve the desired learning outcomes.  When aligned each of these  course components is directly tied to and support the learning objectives.

Scoring

The QM Rubric consists of standards assigned different points related to their importance. There are 42 Specific Review Standards used to evaluate the design of online and blended courses. Essential Standards (3-point Specific Review Standards) must be met during the review and an overall score of 85% of the points possible are required for a course to attain QM certification.
