Welcome to Quality MattersTM. This letter contains information regarding Navajo Technical University access to Quality Matters (QM) tools and resources included with your subscription. You can register at https://www.qualitymatters.org/ir-training. If you have any questions, please contact mhakun@qualitymatters.org
MyQM
MyQM is a personalized, secure portal for your QM data and tools. It is a real-time data repository for your institution's complete QM Program history and involvement. MyQM also provides access to some key tools in the implementation of QM. MyQM offers at-a-glance access to your institution's involvement with QM. It tracks individuals at your institution who are active withQuality Matters, listing professional development, peer reviewer eligibility, courses submitted for review, courses reviewed by those at your institution, attendance at conferences and events, and more. Your MyQM page will contain a section called My Tools where you can access the Peer Reviewer Search tool and the Course Review Management System (CRMS). New resources will be added here as we continue to develop this asset. Please go to https://www.qmprogram.org/myqm/ to enter the site.
Upon entering MyQM, you have the ability to:
Course Review Management System (CRMS)
One of your primary benefits as a QM Subscriber is access to the fully annotated, web-based QM Rubric (Course Review Management System). You will access this system though the MyQM portal. Once you sign into MyQM, go to Higher Education program tab, and you will find a link to this resource, the CRMS, under “My Tools.” You may use this tool to set up unofficial internal reviews at your discretion. (Unofficial, or internal, course reviews are not eligible for QM recognition.) Only faculty and staff from your own institution may be assigned to unofficial internal reviews. If your users don't already have a MyQM account, you may add users to your institution's account. If you have questions about the online Course Review Management System (CRMS), please contact QM Course Review Manager, Melissa Poole at mpoole@qualitymatters.org
Remember that QM tools are copyrighted and may not be used outside a Subscriber's Institution without explicit written permission from MarylandOnline.
Official QM Program Course Reviews
For courses to receive QM Program recognition, they must follow official course review procedures. For more information about how to submit a course for review, please go to: https://www.qmprogram.org/review. If you are a Full subscriber, you are eligible to conduct official subscriber-managed course reviews. You will find detailed information within the QM Coordinator Workshop about the requirements and process.
QM Program Website
The Quality Matters website is: https://www.qualitymatters.org/. All news and information regarding Quality Matters accessible to the public may be found on the website. Registered users may post comments, participate in discussion forums, contact other users, create blogs, and much more. The website is a central location for the QM community. QMprogram.org also includes the following:
Professional Development
Quality Matters professional development sets the stage for implementing QM at your institution or across your state (if a statewide subscription). Enrolling your key stakeholders in the flagship QM workshop, Applying the QM Rubric (APPQMR) workshop will enable everyone to be on the same page regarding how QM works and is a great place to begin. The APPQMR workshop is also the prerequisite workshop for the Peer Reviewer Course (PRC), so if you plan to do QM-recognized peer reviews at your institution (depending on your subscription level), interested faculty should get enrolled in the APP right away so they can be ready for the PRC, and ultimately, becoming QM Peer Reviewers.
QM offers an entire array of professional development related to the QM Rubric standards and how they can apply to help design an online or blended course, improve an existing online course, or if faculty would like to make specific improvements to their courses centering around issues like alignment or welcoming students. All QM subscribers receive the subscriber rate for QM professional development workshops and certification courses.
Quality Matters offers a number of face-to-face, online, and web conferencing workshops to help your faculty use the QM Program tools and improve online and hybrid courses. Detailed course descriptions may be found on our website: https://www.qmprogram.org/professional-development.
Support
We encourage you to contact the QM staff with any questions you have about your subscription. The complete contact list may be found at: https://www.qmprogram.org/staff. Should you have technology questions, please feel free to contact the IT staff at: https://www.qmprogram.org/qmresources/myqm/help.cfm.
Again, we welcome you to Quality Matters and thank you for your support. We look forward to working with you.
