About the Quality Matters Essential Standards Program (QMESP)

The Quality Matters Essential Standards Program (QMESP) is a professional development opportunity for faculty who currently teach online who seek to build new knowledge and skills in pursuit of improving one of their online courses. The program is delivered as a semester-long online blended course that is individually focused. Participants will complete an online workshop, attend course quality consultations, and complete course improvement tasks to help them design a course that meets the essential standards of the research-based and education-driven Quality Matters Rubric for Higher Education. The program will run from January – May 2022.

The program model is collaborative, which includes a cohort (group) of faculty peers and OCIP coordinators working together to design a course that meets the nationally recognized standards of the Quality Matters organization. The program will run from January – May 2022. NC State now has 45 certified Quality Matters courses that meet the highest standard for online course quality and design.
