Improving Your Online Course (IYOC) is an 8-hour workshop that explores the Quality Matter (QM) Rubric and provides a framework for improving the quality of online courses. The IYOC workshop is offered through the CSU Chancellor's Office of Online Course Services but is now also offered by CSULB QM-certified facilitators. 

In this 2-day intensive workshop, IYOC participants will use the Specific Review Standards of the QM Rubric to review their own online courses and develop a course improvement plan. Having a pre-developed online course is required to participate in the activities.
