In summary
To reiterate:
Credit is not earned through the self-check quizzes in Softchalk. You must complete the QM Standards Unit Quiz in Carmen for a potential 50 points from the entire Quality Matters module.
You should go ahead and get started with the QM Standards Unit now, starting with Standard 1 in Carmen. But first, just in case you were curious . . . .
Where did the standards come from?
Every two years, the Quality Matters Rubric undergoes a revision based on an extensive literature review. You will not be asked to cite supporting research for this course, but the supporting studies and their conclusions are summarized in the document below. The Why does it matter? sections for each standard do not refer to the research specifically, but they do in a more general way, and you can find the specific research that supports each standard in the document.
This document is also available in Carmen under Resources in Content.
