Grow Your Online Teaching Toolkit

Are you looking for fresh ideas to enhance your online courses and expand your course design skills? If so, consider pursuing one of MC Online's Quality Assurance professional development opportunities: Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) or the Quality Assurance (QA) Microcredential.

The APPQMR workshop introduces faculty to nationally recognized Quality Matters standards for online course design and provides practical strategies you can apply directly to your own courses. It's also the first step for those interested in becoming certified Quality Matters Peer Reviewers.

The QA Microcredential offers a deeper dive into quality assurance practices through a series of digital badges that recognize faculty expertise in online teaching, course design, accessibility, innovation, and continuous improvement. Whether you're just getting started or looking to expand your knowledge, there's a pathway for you.

Not sure which opportunity is right for you? Hearing directly from a colleague can help. Faculty who have already completed the QA Microcredential badges and APPQMR have graciously volunteered to share their perspectives and answer questions from interested faculty. MC Online would be happy to connect you with them for a one-on-one conversation about their experiences and what they gained from participating. For more information, please contact Tia Roebuck at tia.roebuck@montgomerycollege.edu. We hope you will consider joining a growing community of faculty committed to excellence in online teaching and learning.
