How do we help students reach their learning goals? In this presentation, attendees will examine strategies for beginning with the end in mind, creating measurable learning objectives, and adding effective content to their learning management system.
Physical Education is a particularly challenging course to design in a fully-online K-12 environment. Although several national and state-run programs offer the course, each has a unique take on how to ensure students engage with the course material and achieve a healthier lifestyle through exercise. The solution for one program, a statewide virtual school in the Midwest, is to use fitness trackers. The use of fitness trackers has allowed for increased student engagement and new opportunities for student/student and student/instructor interaction.
Simple practices make it easier for course designers to create student content use. Use Grackle on documents for accessibility and quick revisions. Learn to design courses with the common thread of improving navigation and usability within the LMS.
What do you do when your math courses are your lowest-performing courses AND are inaccessible? Do you rewrite them? Do you remediate them? Do you focus on instructor training? This session will show you how to do all of the above
A gap in professional development to meet the requirement of online teaching experience was recently identified on our campus. This presentation will discuss how the Strategies for Teaching Online, a fully online course aligned to the QM Rubric, was developed to address the gap.
Are you interested in a holistic course review approach that continuously improves quality, even in an accelerated online model? Explore effective practices for incorporating student feedback and promoting a collaborative culture at your institution.
How can you uphold and promote academic integrity while applying Standard 6.1 in support of Standard 3.1? Join faculty members and departmental leadership from four divisions to discuss the evolution and adoption of an institutional policy and system for a large community college.
Come hear our preliminary data and take away ideas for developing your own institutional specific research on the implementation and effectiveness of the QM Standards in higher education courses.
Three instructional designers from three institutions will be discussing the importance and profession of instructional design. We will focus on how great courses come together when faculty are supported and encouraged to achieve their highest potential in an online offering.
The QM Ohio Consortium has now been in existence for 10 years. Despite having 60 member institutions, we have noticed that some institutions engage deeply with QM, while others do not. In order to address this, we announced an initiative in 2018 called the "QM Year of Review". This initiative was designed to help spur the adoption of QM across our member institutions, promote official course reviews, and encourage faculty and staff to complete QM professional development.
The Helpful Recommendation is the critical driver for continuous improvement in the QM Course Review process. We'll show you how to take what the "QM Rubric Says" and turn it into what "You Suggest" to write an effective and complete helpful recommendation in QM terms.
Academic rigor is often touted but rarely defined, leading to assumptions it exists without evidence. A new definition distinguishes teacher/student responsibilities, disentangles rigor from curriculum/learning and leverages evidence to document it.
Before starting out on a new Quality Assurance program with faculty, be sure your online learning support team is trained! This session will cover how an institution new to Quality Matters started a new initiative for accelerated Master's Degree programs that incorporate a Quality Assurance check prior to going live. It is important online learning support staff (technology trainers, instructional technologists, and instructional designers) be well versed on the Quality Matters Rubric and Standards before starting this initiative.
Presenters will open with a discussion of the need for online learning support staff to have a common basis of knowledge as faculty who are designing to particular quality standards.
Open discussion of creating relationships based on achieving standards.
Attendees will leave with a customized approach and training structure to support the success of their instructional design support staff.
Quality matters, but where does it begin? For a mid-western university, it begins with the design document. Bring a copy of your design document. You will have time to share, examine, and explore methods to improve its alignment with QM Standards.
The QM Rubric provides pathways to help faculty design assessments that can address up to three needs at once, including changing accreditors' standards. This session will highlight examples and creative faculty training to streamline assessment.
This poster will focus on how the features of a learning management system can be used to engage learners in an online learning environment.
