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.
The internationally-recognized QM review process is a team-based effort that includes QM-Certified Reviewers trained in using QM Standards for the purpose of certifying course quality. A course becomes QM-Certified once it meets QM Rubric Standards at the 85% threshold or better and meets all Essential Specific Review Standards. Recommendations from the review team to help improve the course are also provided. Institutions and organizations that engage with the official review process have demonstrated a commitment to quality assurance for online learning.
