The Quality Matters Teaching Online Certificate prepares instructors to demonstrate knowledge mastery of online teaching.

This seven-workshop series requires a total time commitment of 11 weeks and approximately 80-90 hours.

The Teaching Online Certificate is awarded by QM upon successful completion of all seven workshops.
