A Clarkson University bioethics course has earned a Quality Matters (QM) Certification. Following a rigorous review process, Bioethics Across the Healthcare Industry (HC201) course, taught by Dr. Paul Cummins in the Earl R. and Barbara D. Lewis School of Health and Life Sciences, earned the certification, an internationally recognized symbol of quality in online and blended course design. The achievement represents Clarkson’s ongoing commitment to creating learning environments that provide learners with a clear pathway to success.
The QM Official Review process provides independent validation of the quality, learner-focused course design found in these courses. Reviews are conducted by QM-Certified Reviewers and use the Quality Matters Rubric and associated Standards, which are based on research and best practices. A course earns the QM Certification Mark once it meets QM Rubric Standards at the 85% threshold or better and meets all Essential Standards.
The certification is a product of Clarkson’s commitment to high quality course design, excellent faculty and the innovative work of the Teaching & Learning Corner’s instructional design team.
The course is now listed on the QM directory of certified courses.
