UNC System Quality Matters Program

As set forth by the UNC System Quality Matters (QM) Council, the objective of the Systemwide Quality Matters (QM) program is to guide participating institutions and faculty through the successful implementation and sustainable broad-scale online, hybrid and remote course quality. The UNC System Learning and Technology Department supports the QM Council and the broader QM program by:

Providing leadership and funding for a Systemwide QM membership which reduces individual institution membership fees by over 50%
Establishing, leading and funding targeted faculty QM development initiatives aimed at increasing Systemwide QM training and certification skillsets in support of creating a scalable QM program

Today, all 17 UNC System institutions, and over 3,000 faculty, participate in the QM program through various online support tools and training events offered across our the System and by the QM organization.

QM from the faculty perspective

UNC System faculty who have adopted the QM methodology to enhance the quality of their online, hybrid and remote learning courses identify several key factors to their success, including:

QM enables a course design environment that fosters creativity
The QM rubrics and tools support and guide efficient transition to online and remote learning
The QM methodology supports proactive course design to address elements of accessibility, assessment, enhanced engagement, and student support

Contact Your Regional or Campus QM Coordinator

Regional Representatives serve as liaisons between institutional QM Coordinators, the UNC System QM Council, and the System Office. They ensure timely communication of Systemwide QM program information to their respective regional institutions and advocate for the interests of the same within the Council. QM Coordinators work with faculty to apply the QM methodology to their online, hybrid and remote courses and implement institution-specific faculty QM development plans.
