In the year of 2020, students seem to be less engaged with learning and more distracted from it. Nevertheless, they seem to have higher demands and greater needs, especially in terms of their education. They seek for quicker solutions and better accommodation according to their learning styles and needs, and therefore very well-prepared courses. Providing students with an exceptional learning experience is not an easy task. Thus the goal of many schools is to improve learning and adjust to the needs of their learners; engage the learners into the learning experience and at the same time maintain the instructional quality. That is why today, more than any other time, it is imperative to create a solid quality assurance plan that will enable them to achieve their goal. A plan that would extend beyond student impact and would make a difference for faculty, staff and the institution as a whole. This presentation discusses the implementation of the Quality Matters framework (QM) into the teaching process of a Mathematics and Biology class at ACS Athens, Greece, as a means of improving and evaluating the above mentioned blended courses. The QM framework will be presented and discussed as well as the type of blended learning that ACS Athens offers, through the i2Flex methodology. The i2Flex methodology will also be defined and explained. Following our recent publication on i2Flex methodology as a pedagogical tool, this presentation will shed light into the use of online platforms such as Moodle, not only as repositories of useful information but to meaningfully enhance student engagement, conserve teaching and learning time, as well as give independence to students for their learning. More specifically, the Moodle shells of both Math and Biology classes will be accessible, as well as their evaluation through the QM framework. The two courses will be fully described and sample class material, ready for use, will be presented.
