I completely agree. Thanks for posting the link to the website it contained useful information that can be integrated into an online education program.
We've been using Quality Matters for about 6 years and have a program for faculty where we help them develop new online courses and programs using the QM standards as guidelines. We've found it to be very effective and an excellent communication tool between faculty and instructional designers.
Hello! I like Quality Matters but can't afford to subscribe right now. I'm developing for a professional community - staff training - instead of credit-bearing college work. QM offers a rubric for this type of course for $500. Does anyone have a copy of something similar that they would share?
I would recommend that you try subscribing/registering to EDUCAUSE (I did not have to pay anything). They are already sending me additional information about new webinars on blended learning (one is coming up in April). I also recommend that you review the rubric offered in chapter 5 from CSU, Chico (Rubric for Online Instruction), which provides great insight into what a quality/exemplary course should be like. Hope this helps!
