Four members of Northern Kentucky University faculty received the Quality Matters Certification Mark for their online course designs.
The QM Certification Mark is the internationally recognized symbol of online and blended course design quality. The courses are now listed on the QM directory of certified courses.
The QM official review process provided independent validation of the learner-focused course design found in the certified courses. Reviews are conducted by QM-certified reviewers and use the Quality Matters rubric and associated standards, which are based on research and best practices. A course earns the QM Certification Mark once it meets QM rubric standards at the 85% threshold or better and meets all essential standards.
Dr. Zach Hart, Dr. Cristiane Biazzin, Dr. Caroline Macke, and Shannon Alexander were honored for their online course designs. Northern Kentucky University noted in a press release that this is the first time four faculty members have earned the mark in the same year.
