Activities and Assessments: From Confusion to Clarity (QualityMatters)

https://www.qualitymatters.org

Quality Matters is an international organization that provides trainings and credentials for people teaching asynchronous and online-live courses. 

The organization defines its focus as follows: 
    "On research – the development of the rubric is based in national standards of best practice, the research literature, and instructional design principles.
    On student learning – the rubric and process are designed to promote student learning.
    On quality – the review sets a quality goal at the 85% level or better (courses do not have to be perfect but better than good enough)".
