QM Benefits

Quality Matters processes benefit both individual faculty and their institutions. Austin Community College (ACC) and faculty will benefit greatly from implementing Quality Matters in the following ways:

QM Trainings

• OCRA (Online Course Redesign Academy) – This is a two-part training to help ACC distance education courses meet Quality Matters standards: A) Learning to apply the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) by attending this training and B) Completion of the course (re)design, development, and QM Review Process with DE Instructional Designers. After OCRA, faculty may continue to work with their DE Instructional Designer for any other online course design and review projects. (APPQMR is the prerequisite training for all other QM trainings. Synchronous and Asynchronous options are available. Check the Faculty Events Calendar for offerings.) Stipend: $1000 paid in two installments – After completing the Applying the Quality Matter Rubric (APPQMR) training, faculty will work with a Distance Education Instructional Designer to design one online or hybrid course. The first $500 stipend will be paid when the course alignment table is completed. The second $500 stipend will be paid when the course meets QM standards.
• National QM Peer Reviewer Training – Available for faculty who have completed APPQMR training to take from QM website. After completion, faculty can serve as the Peer Reviewer for both QM subscriber-managed course reviews and internal ACC course reviews. (3-week time commitment with firm deadlines.)
• Internal QM Peer Reviewer Training (includes Internal Master Reviewer) – Available for faculty who have completed APPQMR training to take it from ACC DE. After completion, faculty can serve as the Peer Reviewer for internal ACC course reviews. (1-week commitment minimum; maximum 3 months. Check the Faculty Events Calendar for offerings.)
