This workshop introduces faculty and staff to the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric and to the QM Process. Quality Matters is a nationally recognized quality assurance organization for online course design, and the QM Process is a faculty-led peer review process that uses the research-based standards (criteria) of the QM Rubric to certify online courses. Eventually, many online courses within the IU system will undergo the QM Process with the goal of achieving national QM recognition. Faculty may also use the QM Rubric as a guide to design online courses. And, for faculty who are interested, this course serves as a pre-requisite for QM's Peer Reviewer Course, which is a required course for faculty who seek certification as a QM Peer Reviewer, allowing them to participate in QM course reviews for courses created here at IU and at other universities.
The workshop is offered at IUPUI as a one-day synchronous Zoom workshop from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.with a one hour break for lunch. To receive the QM certificate of completion for this workshop, participants must be present for and participate in the entire workshop.

Join this webinar to learn how to integrate InScribe into your Canvas course. InScribe is available to all IU students at no additional cost and is used to promote peer learning by giving students an online space where they can post questions and provide answers to peers. Instructors can allow students to post their questions anonymously and can also endorse students’ answers. InScribe enables students to get the help they need when they are working on their homework and peers can often provide help much faster than instructors can. Instructors, particularly those in large classes, use it as their main communication tool and report that they receive fewer emails from students giving them more time to focus on course issues that truly need their attention.
