A QM internal review (QMIR) is the process we use to recognize outstanding course design. Courses that meet the review standards receive a QMIR badge that can be placed on the homepage of your course.
QMIR Process
If you have taught your online course several times and are happy with it, you may request a QMIR for your course. Simply fill out the request form to get started!
You will receive an email notification when your course is selected for a QM internal review. Next, you will be invited to submit a Course Review Worksheet, which offers some background information and context for the reviewers. This worksheet should take 20-30 minutes to complete and is sent directly from QM, technology@qualitymatters.org.
After you submit your Course Review Worksheet, a team of three reviewers will be selected to review your course. These reviewers consist of UArizona instructors and staff who have received training in how to apply the Quality Matters Rubric to course evaluations. Shortly thereafter, the course review begins. This review, which lasts about 3 weeks, culminates in a designation of Met or Not Met. Apart from answering the occasional question about your course, the instructor is not involved in Step 3.
If your course receives the designation of Not Met, you have 14 weeks to amend it based on reviewer recommendations. During this time, you will receive optional support from an instructional designer to assist you in making these changes. Once your course receives a Met designation, you will receive a QM seal on the homepage of your course.
The QM seal expires after three years. At this point, an instructional designer will contact you to schedule a recertification evaluation.
If you are familiar with the Quality Matters Rubric and motivated to apply it directly to your own courses, the option to perform a self-review is available for you. Self-reviews are basically what they sound like. After logging into your MyQM account, you will submit a reviewer worksheet that guides you through the evaluation of one of your own online or blended courses. This Quality Matters self-review tutorial guides you through the process.
