Underlying Principles of QM…
1. Based in national standards of best practice, the research literature & instructional design principles
2. The course under review does not have to be “perfect” but better than just “good enough” (Standards met at about 85% level or better.)
3. Integral to a continuous quality improvement process
4. Valued as part of a faculty-driven, peer review process
5. Designed to promote student learning
