Dear QM Coordinators,
We hope your spring semester is off to a great start! Join us for our first HE QMC meeting of 2026 on Wednesday, February 12, at 1 p.m. Eastern. We have an exciting agenda packed with updates, new offerings, and professional development opportunities to support your work.
What We’ll Cover:
Validation Reviews
Learn about QM’s new Validation Review —a cost-effective way to recognize institutional quality assurance processes (rather than through individual course certification). Institutions that meet criteria in a validation review receive the QM Endorsement for Course Design Quality Assurance.
Move to 2 Reviewers for HE QM Course Reviews
We will share important updates on the transition from three reviewers to two for official HE course reviews, including what this means for your review process.
AI Professional Development
Get an overview of QM’s AI offerings, from the Leveraging Generative AI for Course Design workshop with new sessions starting in March, to self-paced AI workshops available year-round.
New Directions (and opportunities!) for the CHLOE Report
The CHLOE Project has an innovative year planned! We’ll share the new direction for 2026 and discuss additional opportunities for involvement and your own campus conversations.
QM Consulting Catalog Spotlight
QM’s Director of Quality Assurance Implementation Solutions, Dr. Racheal Brooks, has created a full catalog of offerings to help your institution get started with or scale online learning, meet accessibility goals, integrate and support AI, and more! We’ll spotlight some of the items that might be a best-fit for your current needs.
