Improving Student User Experience (UX) with Quality Matters

In this session we discuss the connection between Quality Matters and User Experience (UX). First we define UX and why these design principles are important to incorporate in education. We then describe how QM improves student user experience according to the UX design principles, and give examples based on the QM rubric. We conclude with a discussion of my experience implementing QM™ Standards in a hybrid course.

Incorporating Fun: A Gamification Framework Aligned with QM

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Center for Online Learning, Teaching and Technology has developed and implemented a gamification framework, which applies best practices and Quality Matters principles to their online and hybrid courses. The framework provides a means of using such items for storytelling, achievements for badges, and clever application of adaptive release within learning modules. Join us to learn how to apply game thinking, game elements, and game mechanics into non-game environments.

Influencing LMS Adoption Through QM-Based Training and Digital Badges

Successful LMS transition requires implementing course tools and design best practices. Incentivizing faculty to attend training and integrate skills into course shells is meaningful. Faculty members attended training and obtained badges with a 75% acceptance rate. This session focuses on identifying the benefits of badges to promote an LMS transition, showing how an assessment guide can serve as badge metadata, and examines the design approach used to develop a QM-based LMS transition training. 

Innovative Approaches to Learner Success_DJones

An overview will be presented on the development of three Ball State University non-credit online programs. These modules will highlight the innovative approaches used in the creation of online learning environments, keeping standards in mind during the design of the courses.  The underlying premise is to transform non-credit courses into quality opportunities that enhance future and current student success, as well as contribute to adult learning for educators and audiences external to the institution.

Instructional Designers: Your Greatest Asset to Successful QM Implementation

We are a large public University that offers over 1,000 individual online courses. We are in the early phases of implementing QM as an institution-wide quality assurance program. Our poster will address how to prepare an instructional design team for QM implementation as well as the strategies and tools we developed to streamline the course design process. As instructional designers complete APPQMR, they will be able to guide faculty using the QM HE Rubric while developing courses. In addition, instructional designers garner buy-in from faculty throughout QM implementation.
