Tailoring to fit: Selling ideas for what's possible in online teaching

How many times have you heard, “I just don’t see how it’s possible to do XYZ online”? Join us as we wield powerful strategies to debunk this misconception through case studies illustrating real reformatting situations in higher education. Then we’ll make it personal by offering solutions to our own design challenges. You’ll leave with a productive set of tools and resources to prove that it’s not only possible to do XYZ online, but that it may be impossible to do it any other way from now on.

The Competitive Potential of Local and Regional Online Programs

How can local and regional online programs thrive in an increasingly competitive environment led by nationally focused enterprise-level programs? This session goes beyond describing various sectors’ current online learning practices and articulated future plans. Based on CHLOE (Changing Landscape of Online Education) findings, the facilitators will identify strengths and opportunities of which local and regional institutions may not be not taking full advantage and vulnerabilities they need to address.

The Goldilocks Principle of Course Navigation: How Quality Matters Is Just Right

Learning Management Systems (LMS) serve to accommodate the growing load of student enrollment in higher education programs: as a way to increase instructor and student connectivity, by providing a hub for learning resources, allowing a stream of data and analysis for systems learning, and increasing student engagement. Dependency on LMS for virtual delivery of learning content and use continues to increase (Allen and Seaman, 2016).

To Certify or Not to Certify: Why Should I?

Quality Matters is great, but why bother? 
Let's talk about: (1) why instructors who certified courses went the extra mile,  (2) why instructors who chose not certify didn't go the extra mile, and  (3) how we can use their experiences to help more instructors apply the Quality Matters Rubric to more courses.

What Quality Looks Like in Technology-Enhanced Education: Views from CAOs

Chief Academic Officers have responsibility for the quality in their courses, programs and faculty involved in technology-enhanced education. What are the benchmarks that count and how do they know they are hitting them? What does a comprehensive approach to quality assurance look like from their vantage point? How do they know if they are offering students a quality learning experience? CAOs from institutions with significant commitments to quality in technology-enhanced education will offer their views on how they have navigated the quality question.

Which Active Learning Methods Do Student's Perceive to Increase Their Active Learning and Satisfaction

Hypothesis / Research Questions: We believe active learning theory offers effective methods to further student learning and educational satisfaction. Our question we look to answer: Which active learning methods do students perceive to increase their learning and satisfaction? Purpose of Research: To determine student perceptions of active learning methods in the online modality, and to assess which active learning methods are preferred by students. We look to add to the wealth of knowledge concerning active learning with attention given to the online modality.
