Join us in a humorous approach to building the instructional designer / faculty subject matter expert relationship. You'll not only laugh -- but also learn more about yourself and your approach to sometimes challenging situations.
Discussion boards are still one of the primary tools used for student interaction within online courses. However, due to the way the tool has historically been used, students view discussions as busy work and tend to put less than their best effort into the activity. This inevitably leads to instructor frustration as the tool that promised to mimic traditional conversations in a classroom has fallen short as it degrades to an "I Agree with what they said" type of interaction.
Did you know universal design improves learner engagement? Hear how an urgent accessibility need resulted in more engaged students. Gain tangible resources and ideas to improve collaborations with instructors by reframing the benefits of universal design as a learner engagement strategy.
Use discussion boards, blogs or Twitter-like features to teach, gauge, monitor, and provide civil digital communication and instructional feedback in asynchronous online environments.
Based on faculty recommendation, the Quality+ Program at Idaho State University incorporates a mini student review. Come learn about the process (and templates) and discuss ideas to improve student training in applying certain Standards.
Accreditation hallmarks, QM Standards, and a DE gap analysis resulted in strategic enrollment action plans for institutional improvements. The process of self-study promotes DE growth that promotes student success when QA principles are followed.
Walk through a Certification Pathway that provides evidence to current and potential online students, district-wide stakeholders and accreditors that you are committed to delivering premier, quality digital learning experiences to online students.
We applied QM concepts to instructor delivery conducted via a teaching excellence rubric. QM-inspired revisions included splitting rubric criteria into distinct parts, clarifying language, and applying the 85% principle.
Conduct an internal QM review during course design using QM4Design, an all-in-one GPS that keeps both instructional designers and faculty on the same road to quality. Make your reservation for a QM trip and plan your institution's destination.
Join us to discuss how a course without QM can become a viral infection and how such an infection can spread across multiple courses. Diagnose and treat the virus as an antiviral QM agent.

With the right tool you can easily meet 5 of the QM Standards. CourseArc makes assessment, alignment, engaging activities, technology tools, and accessibility a breeze. Come vote on the standards and CourseArc examples you want to see and discuss. We will provide an overview of tools that can help meet each standard and examples of the tool in action from classes at Idaho Digital Learning Alliance. There will be discussion time and Q&A following each feature demonstration.
In this session, find out how our college leveraged our institutional quality assurance goals to build an ecosystem of supports for our faculty using policy, PD, and our LMS to scaffold their transition to an eLearning environment.
This poster's focus is on approaches used to engage faculty in course improvement. With program-level leadership and department and university support, significant efforts to meet QM Standards are underway. I will discuss our process and progress.
