About us
Quality Matters (QM) is the global organization leading quality assurance in online and innovative digital teaching and learning environments. It provides a scalable quality assurance system for online and blended learning used within and across organizations. When you see QM Certification Marks on courses or programs, it means they have met QM Course Design Standards or QM Program Review Criteria in a rigorous review process. A member-based non-profit organization, QM is one of the largest providers of assessed professional development for online faculty. While many organizations offer “sit and get” webinars or issue certificates of completion for lightly-facilitated workshops, QM courses and workshops feature rigorous assessments and robust facilitation. This professional development supports QM quality assurance at the member organization and throughout the QM community.
