USM OnTrack has added additional Quality Matters workshops in high-demand topics for the Fall term!

NEW - Quality Matters Fall Workshops

We are excited to announce that we have added a new set of Quality Matters workshops starting the week of September 14, targeted at providing just-in-time support for faculty teaching this fall. Topics include active learning strategies, assessment, accessibility, and increasing engagement. Please encourage faculty to register now to secure their spot.

There is no cost for any USM faculty or staff member to attend these workshops, but each workshop does have a 30-person limit, so we encourage you to promote these as soon as possible. We will be monitoring registrations as will add additional sessions if we see high demand.
