Certified QM Peer Reviewer
Quality Matters
Online | 2017
The Peer Reviewer Course is designed to prepare experienced online faculty to serve as QM-Certified Peer Reviewers. It includes a review of the foundational principles of Quality Matters and the QM Rubric. In addition, over the three-week period, participants apply Specific Review Standards to an online course (locate evidence, make decisions based on the evidence, and write helpful recommendations). Finally, participants use their new skill-set to complete a practice review of an online course using eight Specific Review Standards from the QM Rubric. This “Practice Review” assignment is completed in the QM Course Review Management System (CRMS) which QM-Certified Peer Reviewers use in a real course review.

Digital Credential Templates (Digital Badges)
Guidelines for Graphic Design
In 2019, I led an effort to establish image and branding design guidelines for the adoption of digital credentials (aka digital badges) at Arizona State University. Our framework was a result of a university-wide collaborative effort. The images to the right are a series of templates based on our guidelines and created by graphic designers.
