Improving Your Online Course (Asynchronous)

Use the QM Rubric to review your own online or hybrid courses and develop a course improvement plan.



The “Improving Your Online Course” workshop explores the QM Rubric and provides a framework to improve the quality of online courses. Participants use the QM Rubric to review their own online courses and develop a course improvement plan.

The content is based on the essential Specific Review Standards of the Quality Matters Rubric. Participants come away with a plan for course improvement so enrolling in the workshop with a pre-developed online course is required.



This is an online, asynchronous course that runs for a three-week period between September 9 – 30. It will be facilitated by Dr. Olga Mesropova, Professor, Department of World Languages and Cultures, CELT faculty affiliate, and certified QM Master Reviewer. A minimum commitment of 8 – 10 hours a week is recommended for achieving the learning objectives.
