UNC SYSTEM QM COUNCIL
Getting to Know Quality Matters
Have you wondered how Quality Matters (QM) started? Quality Matters began with a small group of colleagues in the MarylandOnline, Inc. (MOL) consortium who were trying to solve a common problem among the consortium member institutions: “How do we measure and guarantee the quality of a course?” This question was especially important as institutions began to create a system where they could share available seats in their online courses with other institutions. They needed a way to ensure course quality — that courses would be equivalent — for their students, regardless of where the course originated. In 2003 MOL outlined how the Quality Matters program could create a scalable process for course quality assurance, and applied for a Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

The Fellows occupy a critical role in helping to identify, and then address, System-wide needs in moving toward a more digital teaching and learning environment in support of student success. Working closely with key stakeholders across the UNC System, they explore new pedagogical strategies and technologies to support not only distance and remote learning but also hybrid and in-person learning environments.
Although you will get an opportunity to interact with them in the Designing Effective Online Courses workshop starting next Monday, they officially begin their Fellowship in January 2022.
Welcome Drs. Oliver, Lou and Hubbard to the Digital Learning Team!

To view these videos, visit our “Right to the Point” Video Series webpage. The UNC DLI “Right to the Point” instructional videos are short…usually two minutes, but rarely more than five, and are narrowly focused on a single education problem of practice and their technological and pedagogical solutions. The videos are designed to give educators access to prescriptive guidance created by other faculty members that address issues, or opportunities, that may confront them in digital education. Given their brevity, they do not require a significant commitment of time by educators but instead, can be consumed whenever a few spare moments are available and the faculty member wants some help in improving their digital teaching capabilities.

New videos will be back soon! Check the website often! |
