QM Success Stories

There is no substitute for experience! Your colleagues who have experience meeting QM's rigorous course design Standards and implementing QM on their campuses can provide you with valuable insights and experience. "QM Success Stories" webinars are presented by your colleagues and fellow members. They will share their experiences on topics like these and more: 

• How do I create a plan for implementing QM at my organization?
• What does a course look like that has met QM Standards?

The sessions are scheduled once per month and are FREE for members only! Space is limited to the first 500 registrants. You can register once and view the webinar with colleagues. The webinars are also live captioned! Can't make it? All QM Success Stories are recorded and available to subscribers after the session in the Reference Library located in MyQM approximately two-weeks after the session.

  Photovoice: A Picture Can Replace a Thousand Words

  Presented by Amy May and Victoria McDermott, The University of Alaska Fairbanks

  Discussion threads can be tedious for students and instructors. Lengthy responses, required participation minimums, and failure to connect with lived experience may result in discussion chore vs. discussion engagement. Photovoice offers an alternative by challenging students to visually respond to discussion prompts and explore the course content through each other's "lens." This interactive session provides a framework for implementation along with practical constraints.

  Webinar begins at 2:00 p.m. ET, 1:00 p.m. CT, 12:00 p.m. MT, 11:00 a.m. PT

Using DesignPLUS in Canvas to Address QM Standards for Course Design

Presented by Mike Zackrison CEO, Cidi Labs; Alicia Reed, Instructional Technology Coordinator at Laredo College; Nichole Lemmon, Director of Digital Learning at Springfield School District (Launch); and Jillian Jevack, Instructional Design Manager at Quality Matters

With an unprecedented number of students participating in online learning this fall, quality matters more than ever. Yet most schools have to meet these increased demands and deliver high quality courses without additional time or resources. Join us to learn how Laredo College and the Springfield Public School System have leveraged DesignPLUS by Cidi Labs to efficiently ensure all of their Canvas courses consistently meet the Quality Matters standards, without putting any of that work on instructors. We’ll also show you how Quality Matters is using DesignPLUS to elevate its professional development courses which are delivered through Canvas.

Webinar begins at 1:00 p.m. ET, 12:00 p.m. CT, 11:00 a.m. MT, 10:00 a.m. PT
