CourseArc announces partnership with Quality Matters

TOWSON, Md., July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CourseArc, an eLearning content creation platform, announces today its new partnership with Quality Matters (QM), the national leader in online learning quality standards. Quality Matters is using CourseArc to create content for new courses and workshops that will be delivered to their subscribers through Moodle, their learning management system. Highlights of new content developed with CourseArc include an update session for members about the new edition of the Rubric being released in July, content for this year's Master Reviewer Recertification course, and lessons for the new The ABCs of QM-Focused Research workshop.

Brenda Boyd, QM's Senior Academic Director: Program Services explains, "We are excited about working with CourseArc and their content tool. Quality Matters advances quality assurance for online learners and CourseArc will help our own professional development offerings meet our standards and provide learners with engaging, interactive and accessible content. We believe the integration of CourseArc into our processes will create a positive impact for the participants."

CourseArc believes quality really does matter, and are thrilled to have the leading organization in quality assurance for online learning using their content creation tool. CourseArc supports high-quality content development through templated design, built-in accessibility, customization, and tools for collaboration. A course management system also supports efficient long-term maintenance of courses, enabling institutions to easily update and manage their online courses.

"Our tool is designed specifically for a subject matter expert who doesn't have a design or development background. We have removed technology as a barrier so course designers can focus on what is most important, creating engaging content that students will want to complete and keep them coming back for more, " said Katie Egan, CEO and Co-Founder of CourseArc. "It's all about producing high quality content, which is why our partnership with Quality Matters is so important to us.  We both believe that creating great content will improve learner outcomes."
