28 April 2026 – OneHE and Quality Matters, two leading organizations committed to excellence in higher education teaching and learning, today announced a new strategic partnership designed to connect their respective communities and co-create resources that bridge the gap between research-supported digital learning quality frameworks and resources and everyday faculty development.
The partnership will deliver shared resources, including joint-branded webinars, and three new free-to-access joint-branded pieces of content will be published on the OneHE platform by September 2026, covering practical quality assurance strategies, quick course design checks, and the intersection of AI, academic integrity, and quality course design. The first joint branded webinar, hosted by OneHE, is scheduled for 26 August 2026. Discounted institutional and individual membership to OneHE and its library of bite-sized, evidence-informed microlearning will be available to the Quality Matters Membership.
“Educators across higher education work hard to design meaningful learning experiences, and this partnership gives them practical, immediately applicable support to do that with confidence,” said Olivia Fleming, Co-Founder and Director of Partnerships at OneHE. “Partnering with Quality Matters is an exciting opportunity to put evidence-informed teaching practice and quality course design guidance side by side, in a way that feels genuinely useful for busy faculty.”
“Quality Matters has long been committed to helping institutions build a culture of continuous quality improvement in their digital learning programs,” said Deb Adair, CEO of Quality Matters. “Partnering with OneHE allows us to extend that commitment directly to all faculty across the institution, in a format that meets them where they are — with practical, accessible professional development that supports great course design in any modality.”
The partnership launches with a focus on supporting both organizations’ existing memberships, sharing expertise to provide joint content and programming planned throughout 2026.
