NKU periodically holds workshops for faculty and staff who would like to learn more about QM.
The university will cover the cost of a dedicated workshop (in other words, one created specifically for NKU ) for those enrolling for the first time. To learn more about these workshops and arrange for registration, please email Stephanie Songer. Please note: The university will not cover the cost of a non-dedicated workshop, or workshop or other QM materials that are not provided directly from the university. If you are interested in pursuing other QM training and learning opportunities, please seek professional development funding through your department.
The Quality Matters (QM) Rubric is an internationally recognized tool for evaluating online course design. The Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) Workshop is the QM flagship workshop and an ideal starting point for understanding the QM Rubric and the course review process. The workshop may particularly interest faculty (including adjunct faculty), instructional designers, and administrators. The APPQMR Workshop is the prerequisite for the Peer Reviewer Course, which is required to become a QM-Certified Peer Reviewer.
A typical remote synchronous APPQMR Workshop for institutions in the Kentucky Virtual Campus System is held in two Zoom sessions on consecutive Fridays from 8:30 a.m. until noon. Active participation throughout both sessions is required to receive a certificate from QM.
If you would like to register for this workshop or if you have questions, email Stephanie Songer (songers1@nku.edu) with your name, NKU email address, and either your office location (for campus delivery) or your home mailing address (if you work remotely). The university will cover the cost of the workshop for first-time registrants.
