At the heart of Quality Matters™ is the QM rubric and the QM review process. The QM rubric, in its very organization, mirrors an Understanding By Design or Backward Design Approach. In the fifth edition of the rubric, component 2 relates to Learning Objectives. component 3 relates to Assessment and component 5 relates to Activities. Objectives - Assessments - Activities, as you know, are the triumvirate of alignment.
This challenge is divided into two levels. If you do not reach Level Two, your performance will not be recorded in the learning management system. You must achieve Level Two! To do so, you must earn 80% of the points available in Level One. Are you up for it? Have you viewed the information introducing QM and, at least, reviewed the rubric?
If so, let's get started. Click on the next button.
For the multiple select questions, check off all of the options that are true.
In the drag and drop exercise, decide if each tile belongs to Quality Matters or not. For example, a Course Overview is a component of the QM rubric so it should be dragged to the 'Quality Matters' column. An Administrative Review has nothing to do with Quality Matters. This tile should be placed in the 'Not Quality Matters Related' column.
On the next two pages, answer the question by dragging the tiles on the right to the matching column.
For example the tile that reads "Used for Administrative Review" would be dragged to the column labeled "Not Quality Matters Related" because administrative reviews have nothing to do with Quality Matters reviews.
The Quality Matters rubric emphasizes strong alignment of objectives, assessments and activities. In each of the examples that follow you are given two options. One option is more aligned than the other. The misalignment, for example, could be that the objective describes a level of learning that the assessment does not match or that the activity does not support.
