The Quality Matters™ Higher Education Rubric, 2011-2013 Edition
Introduction to the Rubric
The Quality Matters (QM) Rubric is intended to be used to evaluate online and hybrid courses that are "mature," that is, courses that have already been taught for a couple of terms. We are going to use it for this course as a development tool. The rubric lists 8 General Standards with 41 specific standards (or criteria) organized under each of the general standards. Please save or print the one-page version of the rubric below, and refer to it for the rest of this introduction. This one-page rubric and the 22-page annotated version of the rubric are available in the Carmen Content, in the Resources module. Note that you can view all PDF documents presented in these SoftChalk lessons as they appear below, or you can save them to your computer and view them that way. Use the icons along the top of the PDF frame to select various actions.
