Quality Matters (QM)
The Quality Matters Program is a “national benchmark for online course design” (their words), that among other things contains a pretty good rubric for designing online instruction. BRCC, through the VCCS, is a QM subscriber and has access to its rubric and training. Dorothy Connelly manages QM training and has copies of the rubric; she has information about this on the Distance Learning site. If you’re interested in QM training beyond what is offered here, BRCC faculty are eligible for a discount on all of QM’s courses.
