This presentation will lay out the steps FIU took to ensure the complete integration of QM for the improvement
and design of online courses. Topics will include resource allocation needed to fund a QM initiative, the use of
a pilot program to inform internal processes, the role of marketing and faculty training, and the importance of
faculty support and recognition in gaining QM certification. Participants will learn techniques that can be
replicated and ideas that can be modified to fit their institution’s particular culture and structure.
