APPQMR Workshop

The Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) workshop guides faculty through QM rubric standards, developed to improve online and blended course design. The rubric is foundational to the WolfSNAPS and ACE workshop series, as well as the Course Improvement Grant. The APPQMR workshop is taught by QM-certified NC State facilitators in both face-to-face and asynchronous online formats and is free of charge to NC State faculty and staff.

Course Improvement Grant

Course Improvement Grants provide funding and DELTA staff guidance for faculty who currently teach online/hybrid and are seeking to build upon their existing knowledge and skills in pursuit of improving one of their online courses. The grant model is collaborative, which includes a cohort (group) of faculty peers, faculty mentors, and DELTA staff working together to design a course that meets the nationally-recognized standards of the Quality Matters organization.
