Quality Matters online workshops – registration open now

Registration is now open for the February Quality Matters online workshops offered by SBCTC.

Improving Your Online Course (IYOC)
Feb. 9-28, 2017

Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR)
Feb. 9-28, 2017

Which Workshop is for me?

    • Take the APPQMR workshop if you would like to see the QM Rubric applied to someone else’s course; if you are interested in seeing what a course looks like before a QM review, and again after incorporating reviewer comments; or if you are considering becoming a Peer Reviewer or a facilitator.
    • Take the IYOC workshop if you have already taken the APPQMR and need a refresher;  if you want to practice applying the QM Rubric to your OWN class; or if you are interested in getting your feet wet, but not fully immersed!

If you are unsure which workshop is right for you, please contact our Shoreline QM Coordinator, Amy Rovner. arovner@shoreline.edu or (206) 546-6937

Register here today!  (Do not register directly through the QM website because SBCTC will not be able to reimburse you.)
