FIU Online Instructors wishing to enhance an existing fully online course to meet the  Panther Quality (Quality Matters) standards or significantly update their course design can opt into a one-to-one instructional design consultation by completing the form below.  Note: Instructors with expired QM- or HQ-certified courses can also opt-in to have their courses re-evaluated and re-certified to meet the standards of the QM rubric.

Opt-In Requirements

This consultation commits you to a full development cycle. The typical cycle is 12 to 16 weeks of development prior to the start of the semester, concluding once the semester ends.

In order to ensure a successful development cycle and establish a collaborative partnership with your instructional designer, three consultation meetings are required at a minimum. Courses engaging in this enhancement process must be submitted for evaluation to ultimately meet the Panther Quality standards by the end of the opt-in semester. 

Please check with your academic units for certification requirements and/or preferences prior to submitting your request.

Timelines

Semester Course will be Taught Spring Summer Fall
Final Day to Apply October 7 February 7 May 15

Note: All new instructor/course pairings are assigned to an instructional designer who will consult and guide the instructor through the online course design process. The form below should only be completed if you are interested in enhancing an existing fully online course to meet the  Panther Quality (Quality Matters) standards.
