FLQMC (FLORIDA QUALITY MATTERS CONSORTIUM)

The Florida Quality Matters Consortium (FLQMC) provides faculty and staff from participating institutions information and resources to promote quality course design and to build collaborative relationships and shared expertise through statewide collaboration. The primary goal is to improve the quality of courses and learning experiences for students in online and blended courses.

The Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC) serves as the Lead Institution for a Quality Matters System Subscription license that welcomes the Florida College System and State University System, DLSS Members Council, and partners to join as the Affiliated Institutions. The System Subscription gives institutions a more cost-effective way to collaborate with one another as they work toward improving course design and meeting QM standards. Institutions who join the System Subscription will benefit from conducting course reviews together, sharing QM resources, and leveraging professional development workshops to inspire action across the system.
