"The Quality Matters Rubric is a set of 8 general standards and 41 specific standards used to evaluate the design of online and blended courses. "
"This site is designed to answer the question being asked: What does a high quality online course look like? It is ourhope that instructors and instructional designers will use this site to learn more about the Rubric for Online Instruction, and be able to view examples of exemplary courses that instructors have done in implementing the different components of the rubric."
"Research has shown that active learning methodologies actually help students retain more knowledge than traditional methods that focus solely on the acquisition of facts. Students are more likely to internalize, understand, and remember material learned through active engagement in the learning process. Thus the evidence clearly suggests changing (or at least enhancing) the models that are so common in college classrooms-primarily "teacher talk.""
6 Steps to Build an Effective Syllabus:
Identify the purpose of the course.
Develop learner-centered objectives.
Structure the course to serve learner-centered objectives - The Course Outline.
Structure the course to serve learner-centered goals - Building Lessons.

The challenge addressed in this article is how to achieve a win-win balance between
quality and workload for students and instructors participating in asynchronous online
discussions. A Discussion Guideline document including minimum requirements and best
practices was developed to address this need. The approach covers three phases:
design and development, setting up expectations, and launch and management. The
goals of the approach, based on a commitment shared by all full time and adjunct faculty,
are high quality of education as well as retention of both students and qualified
instructors.
