Background: Best practices for online course design aim to improve teaching and learning by emphasizing the relationship between a course's learning outcomes and all other parts of the course, from assessments to technology to student interaction with peers and instructors. The transition and expanded opportunities to online or hybrid learning in nursing education demonstrate the need for quality online learning experiences.
Method: A university initiative to ensure high quality remote courses focused on expanding Quality Matters (QM) certification of hybrid and online courses, which ensures that a course has been developed according to standards for online learning.
Results: Currently, 20 courses within a school of nursing are QM certified with 4 more actively preparing for formal review this academic year.
Conclusion: This experience can aid schools to develop faculty competencies in evidence-based, online navigation and course design, and systematically improve the online learning experiences for all students. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(4):205-211.].
