“We want to provide both the K-12 Applying the QM Secondary Rubric (K-12 APP) and K-12 Reviewer Course (K-12 RC) and, potentially, other professional development opportunities to at least one person in each of Michigan’s 56 ISDs,” Joe said. MVU began working with QM to create a subscription model for Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) in Michigan. This new policy created an urgent, statewide need to both familiarize Michigan educators with national standards for quality online courses, and, perhaps more importantly, to help them develop the capacity to accurately and consistently assess online course quality. “Michigan’s course access legislation required that any online course entered into the catalog be reviewed according to quality standards,” Joe recalled, “and the results of the review be publicly accessible as part of the online course syllabus to better inform parents, learners and schools.” MVLRI subscribed to and began implementing QM shortly after Michigan became a course access state, a state in which students in middle and high school can take up to two online courses per academic term from a course catalog districts publish. Its research team produces original K-12 online and blended research and develops research-based practical resources for parents, learners and schools.

MVU is a non-profit organization specializing in K-12 online and blended learning. It also supports Michigan's Online Course Catalog and the Online Learning Orientation Tool. MVLRI has partnered with iNACOL to manage the Research Clearinghouse for K-12 Blended & Online Learning, a repository of references to research articles and other publications from the field of K-12 online and blended learning. The Michigan Virtual Learning Research Institute™ (MVLRI™) seeks to expand Michigan’s capacity to support new learning models, engage in active research to inform new policies in online and blended learning and strengthen the state’s infrastructures for sharing best practices.
