Exciting news! We’ve added an important, globally recognized standard of quality to our already rigorous toolkit for quality assurance and accessibility! eLearningDOC is now an Academic Service Company (ASC) in Quality Matters (QM), with access to the QM Rubric and the Course Review Management Systems (CRMS).
This means we can design learning programs aligned with QM’s research-backed processes, conduct internal reviews, and prepare courses for official QM certification.
The Importance of Quality Matters Certification There are many times when a course’s credibility and adoption hinge on meeting a recognized, research-based quality standard. For example, courses that must satisfy accreditation, licensing, or compliance requirements in higher education, K-12, or professional continuing education can rely on QM certification for the documented assurance stakeholders expect.
QM certification also strengthens your position when applying for grants or responding to RFPs, where proof of meeting a nationally recognized standard makes your proposal stand out.
For courses with a long shelf life, QM certification enhances their durability and impact.
And beyond compliance, QM boosts your reputation. Institutions, associations, and agencies see the QM Certification Mark as a trusted signal of quality, helping you achieve adoption at scale and giving learners confidence in the course’s value.
For courses with a long shelf life or those tied to broader programs or credential pathways, QM certification enhances their durability and impact, supporting ongoing adoption and positive learner outcomes.
At eLearningDOC, we’re excited to bring this additional standard to our clients. It’s one more way we’re continuing to expand the choices and quality options available to meet your customized learning needs. If you'd like to learn more about QM, please reach out to us. You are also invited to attend our webinar coming up on September 18th!
Warm regards,

eLD On the Road: TSAE Conference Recap
Peer-to-peer learning can be the best, and Dr. Diana Brand had everyone leaning in and sharing during her session, “Creating and Managing Online Learning With AI: What Works, What Doesn’t, and How to Get Started” at the Texas Society of Association Executives New Ideas Conference in San Antonio last week.
This annual conference always feels like home to us, given our long-standing connection with TSAE. A true highlight this year was seeing Dr. Angela Robbins on stage with TSAE Executive Director Steven Stout when they introduced the newest Texas CAE credentialed professionals!

Cooking Up Engagement: The Recipe for Immersive Training Success
Think of the modern workplace as a bustling kitchen with pots boiling, timers beeping, orders flying in. In this kind of heat, bland “sit-and-get” training gets pushed to the back burner and forgotten as quickly as it’s served.
Learning has to do more than feed information to earn a spot on the menu; it has to awaken the senses, spark curiosity, and invite people to take a bite. When training is interactive, immersive, and seasoned with real-world relevance, it stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like a signature dish learners can’t wait to try again. That’s when knowledge sticks, skills sharpen, and learners return hungry for more.
The Secret Sauce comes from a Handful of Essential Ingredients:
Put learners in the driver's seat.
Like chefs choosing recipes, learners thrive with autonomy. Branching scenarios and adaptive paths turn rigid demos into hands-on kitchens where flavors are explored freely.
Make Them Move, Think, and Decide
Passive clicks are like dishes left simmering. Spice up learning with decision points, timed challenges, and case studies, allowing learners to taste, adjust, and truly savor knowledge.
Keep It Real
Great meals need real ingredients. Training should mirror real-world tools and challenges, allowing learners to practice recipes safely before moving on to high-stakes, customer-facing kitchens.
Provide Feedback That Fuels Growth
Feedback is the essential seasoning. Serve it fresh, specific, and actionable so learners know what worked, what to adjust, and how to refine. Timely, flavorful notes turn minor errors into lasting mastery.
