CTL: Quality Matters Team

Hamline University is committed to implementing the Quality Matters standards for the design of online and blended courses, and we are systematically building and evaluating our courses in this research-based context. The Quality Matters standards assure that the online components of these courses promote learner engagement and provide students with all the tools and information they need to be successful learners. Visit the Quality Matters website for more information about the organization.

Regardless of modality, online, face-to-face, and hybrid courses these days have online presence. Check out Hamline resources for teaching online.

Hamline Quality Matters Team is ready to review your online courses or online components (Canvas) of your face-to-face and hybrid courses and help you with all your online teaching needs at Hamline University.  If you are interested in a team based Quality Matters review of your online course, please email ctl@hamline.edu to start the conversaton.

Our goals for integrating Quality Matters at Hamline University include the following:

• Utilize Quality Matters for establishing expectations for online course development

• Create opportunity for faculty to receive feedback on design of online portions of their courses regardless of course modality

• Encourage faculty to utilize Quality Matters standards when developing online portions of their courses

• Promote collaboration between faculty, academic advising, librarians, and academic technology consultants to support online learning
