A Clarkson University graduate business leadership course has earned a Quality Matters (QM) Certification. Following a rigorous review process, Leading and Managing Organizations (EM640) course, taught by Adjunct Instructor Mr. Jon Brink in David D. Reh School of Business, 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.
Mr. Brink is twice successful in earning a QM certification for one of his courses. Operations Strategy and International Competitiveness (OM650) taught by Mr. Brink received the quality designation in 2022. Both of these courses, along with Clarkson’s other QM certified courses, are listed on the QM directory of certified courses.
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.
