In August 2011 the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission selected QM for statewide adoption. This session focuses on the planning, support, and buy-in that occurred, resulting in approximately 150 faculty being trained in the "Applying the QM Rubric" in the first months of implementation; an initial cohort of statewide peer and master reviewers being created in the first six months of implementation; and how the training led to the development and peer review of 12 courses for a new statewide portal for college completion that all met QM standards.

Dr. Roxann Humbert is the Statewide Director for Higher Education e-Learning for the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.  In that role she is responsible for setting policy related to online learning, chairing the West Virginia Virtual Learning Network forum, directing the development of a statewide portal for hosting competency based continuous enrollment online courses, conducting Quality Matters “Applying  the Rubric” training, facilitating the online course peer review process, and serving as the WV State Educational Technology and Electronic Campus representative to the Southern Regional Education Board(SREB).
