Quality Matters (QM) is a faculty-centered, peer-review process designed to certify the quality of design of online or blended courses. The quality of design is measured using the QM rubric, developed from research, best practices and instructional design pedagogy. The QM rubric was created to help course developers, teachers, faculty, entire organizations and, most importantly, students. The standards in the rubric are intended to guide you through the development, evaluation and continuous improvement of your online and blended courses.

The COPH Undergraduate Teaching Circle is offered monthly during the fall and spring semesters to promote teaching-related knowledge and skills. Each month, a different topic or skill is addressed to encourage professional development of all undergraduate instructors and instructional support, including tenured faculty, instructors, doctoral student instructors and TAs. Collaborations thus far have included CITL, SAS, Innovative Education and ETA.

An interactive digital publication providing information on the latest trends and strategies in education.
