Conference Presentations
Grab your accreditation surfboard and ride the wave to QM implementation with us! From the experience of a mid-size, underfunded state institution, hear how QM has become a beacon of quality assurance across the university.
Join us as we share our process for training and supporting new online faculty within the context of QM's Standards.

Walk around the edge of the QM Research pool to see what it looks like - and then dive in for a true understanding of what's under the surface. Get comfortable in the water so you can take a dip whenever you like.
This session will focus on design & delivery techniques to better gather and use feedback in your online class. We'll cover: 1) individual feedback ideas for engagement and connection, 2) time-saving ideas for group feedback and auto-feedback, 3) soliciting feedback for continous improvement, and 4) using the feedback loop for "just-in-time" online teaching strategies.
Students value individualized and timely feedback. However, suboptimal course design can limit instructors' ability to meet feedback expectations.
This presentation focuses on designing courses using feeding cycles, which leverage feedforward to make room for high quality feedback.
To promote compliance with accessibility mandates, we developed a workflow to provide timely, accurate and cost-effective closed captioning for instructional materials. We share details about this process, and data about significant benefits of the captioning for ALL students.
Wouldn't it be great to be a new college? Distance learning courses, proactively designed from scratch to meet accessibility standards, would eliminate terms like "legacy course" and "faculty buy-in". Imagine a world where WCAG did not require a Google search on acronyms.
Trying to determine what professional development (PD) opportunities best meet faculty and staff needs? This session can help! Join QM's Senior Manager of PD and a Dean of eLearning + QM Coordinator with a wealth of experience in this area as they guide you through: the different pathways available for QM professional development, how QM PD can aid your implementation journey and support your goals, and how to choose the right PD (at the right time) for your faculty and staff needs.
Adoption of QM can be challenging in smaller, private institutions, which value academic freedom. A potential untapped leverage is in health science programs. We will discuss an institution initiative, successes and strategies to increase adoption.
Are you fully utilizing QM reporting tools? Let's discuss how to use standard and customizable QM reporting tools to keep track of professional development, course reviews, and QM role holders to support and evaluate your implementation efforts.
For many faculty members, the very thought of teaching online raises alarms and defenses. However, even in seated classes in today's world, we can all benefit from learning and instituting the principals of quality online course design. A team consisting of a Director of Online Learning and two faculty members will lead this fun discussion that will help rescue and respect faculty prone to resist. This session is aimed at anyone who can have an impact on faculty members in higher education.
Research shows that a higher intensity of engagement leads to greater performance in online classes. But how can we verify this at our own institutions? What types of data can support this research and how do we access it?
Have you ever found yourself writing the exact same comment on every assignment submitted by the same student throughout the semester? Let's talk about it and how we can create effective feedback and get students to use it!
This session will present the WeTeach program, a model proven to be successful to engage faculty in a voluntary program supporting course design and integrating QM Standards. The program includes a flexible model with multiple delivery methods that address faculty's needs with personalized custom attention. This session will showcase the program's structure, project management tools and strategies, campus communication and promotion, and a brief overview of content topics.
Does the new QM Rubric go far enough to address emerging competency-based, customized, flexible models in higher education? We will use as a case study courses that were previously QM-Certified that have recently been converted to one institution's new flexible model of delivery directly assessing competencies. We will assess possible application of the new QM Rubric to this new model as well as to other higher education models and explore the implications for the continuing evolution of the Rubric.
In this presentation, we will discuss a case-study example of moving a course from face-to-face to online and now to hybrid and discuss the opportunities and challenges from this experience.
The concept of the flipped classroom has been a hot topic in education in the last few years. While some institutions have fully embraced this style of learning, others have good intentions but may not know how and where to start when it comes to actually implementing this approach. Beginning in Fall 2014, a fully flipped classroom was implemented in a senior level medical-surgical nursing course. This presentation will discuss the implementation process, student feedback, and student outcomes in the course.
