🎉 Congratulations to Ann Gillard on her recent QM certification!

Her course YDP 8060 was certified on January 19, 2026, and reflects a strong commitment to quality online learning.

Gillard shares:
“oining the QM Cohort and going through the QM review processes were absolute game-changers for how I think about course design. The feedback from the team was so respectful, practical, and encouraging that I went from feeling somewhat embarrassed about my course to genuinely proud of it. I've already become a full-on QM evangelist with my colleagues. I only wish I had discovered this incredible process sooner!”

We’re proud to support faculty throughout the process. 🧡

Curious how to design discussion boards that keep learners engaged throughout the semester?

This week’s blog breaks down simple, effective strategies to boost engagement, from clearer expectations to more meaningful prompts.

Introducing the inaugural Clemson Online Student Advisory Board Leadership Team 👋

The main goals of COSAB include representing online students, building community, promoting equal access to opportunities, improving online programs, and helping students grow academically and professionally. These student leaders advocate for quality online learning, represent their peers, and suggest areas of improvement for the online student experience.

We’re excited to work alongside this group as they help elevate the online student experience at Clemson University. 🧡

Meet Mia Kramer, Digital Compliance Student Worker! 👋

Originally from Clover, SC, she is majoring in Computer Science, minoring in Business Administration. "I chose computer science because I knew I wanted to receive a STEM degree! I chose my minor because it helps to build important leadership skills. I enjoy solving problems and finding different ways to solve them".

As for her time at Clemson so far, her favorite class has been Sports Sustainability, and her favorite campus spot is the upstairs study areas in the Hendrix Student Center. 🧡

Passionate about cooking, eating well, and exercising, she enjoys watching comedy or horror TV shows/movies, reading, playing video games with her brother and spending time with her family and her dog.
