"Quality Matters (QM) is a faculty-centered, peer review process that is designed to certify the quality of online and blended courses. QM is a leader in quality assurance for online education and has received national recognition for its scalable, peer-based approach and continuous improvement in online education and student learning."

Indiana University has adpoted the QM rubric and strives to make sure that online courses meet, or exceed, Quality Matters standards. Based on research, QM uses a peer-based approach to continuous improvement in online course design and student learning. IU's QM license provides the seven IU-managed campuses access to:
- Faculty-centered continuous improvement models
- Networks for assuring the quality of online courses through peer review
- Professional development workshops and certification courses
- Rubrics for applying quality standards to course design
- A self-review tool to guide early design and revision
Please contact the IU East Center for Faculty Development (CFD) at cfd@iue.edu for more information about applying Quality Matters at IU, and/or how to begin the review process.
