Quality Matters offers several professional development opportunities as webinars and/or workshops. Under the guidance of Quality Matters, the Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) workshop is being offered periodically within the system by Lone Star College facilitators, either in face-to-face, virtual, or online format. Participants must attend the full scheduled workshop time (approximately 8 hours) to earn their certificate of completion for the APPQMR workshop.
