Background: As student demand for online learning grew, Towson University adopted the quality assurance standards based from The Quality Matters Program and developed the Gold Review Process. The process, supported by research and best practices, was used as a professional development rubric for instructors initiating the conversion from classroom-based instruction to an online learning environment. Purpose: To evaluate the perspectives of the Course Instructor and of the QM peer gold reviewer during their experience of taking a course through the QM Gold Review redesign process. Methods: Peer review data, student course evaluation data and instructor reflections are presented and analyzed as measures to reflect on the transformation and implementation of a selected course to a fully online format via the Gold Review process. Results and Recommendations for the Field: As higher education institutions reallocate resources, time, and expertise to online course design and implementation, quality assurance processes like Gold Review and Quality Matters, can facilitate the successful design of courses to reflect sound pedagogy, course alignment and accessibility.
