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.
Hands-On Labs allows students to replicate tactile lab experiences off-campus by using lab-grade materials in conjunction with a diverse experiment library that spans nine science disciplines. We will be discussing the challenges of distance laboratories and how to overcome them by demonstrating the student experience with HOL cloud.
As we migrate from D2L to Canvas, the Digital Learning Innovation Team at UW Superior realized it was an opportunity to promote quality course design based on student engagement research using Master Course Shells. Our team has developed training that supports using Quality Matters (QM) principles in course design. Included in the training is an opportunity for departments to adopt a course template that we have developed based on UDL principles and QM. Many departments have adopted the template to develop a Master Course Shell for courses.
ASU Online offers thousands of online courses a semester with a goal of ongoing course enhancement. This presentation will provide recommendations on how to leverage institutional and course data to identify key course health indicators in online courses and prioritize them in ways that ensure ongoing course improvement. Dashboards with examples will be shared along with a customizable process to identify and prioritize enhancements for online courses at scale.
Implementing critical thinking to courses helps students become more efficient in their studying and develop skills, abilities, and values crucial to success in everyday life.
The instructor has a chance to foster deeper, more substantive thinking by engaging students in activities. This session will share the techniques implemented in my classes and free resources pages. Attendees can use the techniques and resources to design exciting new activities for their students.
Demonstration of cost effective, user-friendly, and streamlined methods to capture the elusive data analysis monster. From arming your faculty with the tools they need, to forming alliances across campus, these methods are sure to aid your hunting party.
This session is a follow-on session after the conference's keynote address. Join us for a discussion with several online learning leaders to share stories and tips for reaching the next level of leadership in distance/online learning.

Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) is a small teaching approach to enhance student learning. Explaining to students the "why" of an assignment is the premise of TILT. Three parts of TILT — purpose, task, criteria — align with objectives to show the relevancy of an assignment to a student. TILT supports the Quality Matters Higher Education Rubric and helps instructors to think intentionally about activities. Examples from an online course using TILT and several resources will be shared.
