Quality Matters (QM)

Quality Matters is a renowned international leader in digital learning quality, with over 20 years experience. QM is known for its research-based standards and best practices that ensure high-quality digital learning environments. These standards are continually updated to stay aligned with the latest research.

Credentials Unlimited and QM Partnership

Credentials Unlimited is a proud member of Quality Matter’s Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) membership. This affiliation allows us to leverage QM’s CPE Rubric and My QM Review Tools to rigorously assess and enhance the quality of non-credit professional training and personal development courses. Through this process, we provide detailed reports highlighting the strengths and areas of improvement in your courses, helping you meet QM’s highest standards.

Our Enhanced Micro-Credential Three Part Review Process:

  • 1 Standards Alignment Review: A licensed educator will review the course to ensure alignment with relative standards, such as the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading (KPS 2018). These standards will be documented on the non-credit transcript accompanying each micro-credential.
  • 2 Course Evaluation by QM Standards: Our trained reviewers use the Quality Matters CPE Rubric and MY QM Tools to evaluate your course. You will receive a comprehensive report detailing the course’s strengths, weaknesses, and actionable feedback for improvement.
  • 3 Adherence to Micro-Credential Standards: We ensure that your course adheres to the highest micro-credential standards using the Micro-Credential Quality Assurance Standards and Self-Assessment Rubric Tool. The final review guarantees that the micro-credential meets universal quality criteria, enhancing its value and portability for educators nationwide.

By incorporating these rigorous review processes, Credentials Unlimited is committed to delivering micro-credentials that reflect the highest industry standards and provide meaningful value to educators and learners alike.
