Get Involved in QM at CCU
Our Quality Matters (QM) rollout will support Coastal Carolina University online courses via a multi-tiered approach. With the assistance of instructional designers and the implementation of course workshops like APPQMR, this initiative will help further facilitate a campus-wide culture of online quality assurance, reduce overall DWF rates in online courses, and promote university-wide adherence to policy guidelines and rules set forth by accrediting and regulatory bodies, as well as relevant federal compliance.
Quality Matters offers a variety of resources that you can be a part of at CCU. These resources include the latest course evaluation rubrics, certification courses and workshops, conferences, certificate programs, webinars, and other professional development training that are offered both online and on campus. Some of these resources enable faculty and staff to become certified in QM roles. CCU has invested in offering such professional development, and these opportunities will be available as part of this implementation plan.
Coastal Online is pleased to announce open applications for the QM Course Certification Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to support course representatives in reviewing, enhancing, and developing quality online or hybrid undergraduate and graduate courses. This process uses the Quality Matters Higher Education rubric as an instrument for collaboration between faculty, teaching staff, and instructional designers in quality online/hybrid course design. All full-time and part-time faculty and teaching staff are eligible to apply via the Quality Matters Course Certification Application.
