In this presentation, we will discuss how to foster a culture of quality in online teaching by providing instructors with flexible and varied design approaches. We will explore ways to enhance instructor presence using shareable templates, which are pre-approved courses that maintain alignment standards in the course design process. Shareable courses provide instructors with built-in course delivery options, giving them more flexibility in teaching the course without compromising on quality.
This session will discuss a midsize community college's journey to incorporate common assessment across multi-section courses. We will cover the rationale and research behind using common assessments, the Communication Department's pilot project, and lessons learned from the school-wide roll-out. We will also discuss the logistics of documenting assessment data, tracking common assessment results, project examples, unforeseen benefits, achieving faculty buy-in, and frequently asked questions.
The Colorado Community College System developed a set of QA standards based on the QM Rubric. Ensuring that system colleges implement the standards is a challenge due to differing college resources and other factors. A cross-college work group developed professional development resources to support college buy-in, create flexible opportunities for customization, and build momentum toward a robust system-wide QA implementation plan. We will showcase these PD resources, contextualizing them as milestones toward system goals.
This presentation discusses micro-credentials and describes our process for creating a definition of micro-credentials for a continuing education training program. It will discuss the QM Continuing Education Rubric and how that rubric was applied to each short course in the micro-credentials. Finally, it will discuss challenges and lessons learned through the development of micro-credentials.
Looking to level up your teaching game? Join us for a session on gamification in education and discover how to increase student motivation and engagement through the power of game mechanics. Learn about successful examples of gamification, gain practical design strategies and tools, and explore the potential of gamification to enhance student learning outcomes. Join IDLA teachers and developers to explore the power of gamification and take your teaching to the next level!
The responsibility to create equitable spaces falls directly on faculty. The talk will examine two projects where I am trying to equalize the equity gaps. I will cover our methods for creating equitable spaces (whether online or in-person) and discuss the results from these projects. I will also talk about future plans and share a link to my Zotero database that contains research on creating equitable courses.
We are revolutionizing professional development for part time faculty! Come see how we transformed a 32 week program, specific to our part time faculty, to shortened terms of 8 weeks. We achieved a 70% increase in completions and improved learner success.

This poster describes a multi-year study about student perceptions of the importance of online course design elements revealing areas of challenge and opportunity for online learners. Students indicated three areas of high importance to their online course experience including course organization, communication, and grading/feedback, elements promoting fair and equal access to quality education. Takeaways include: two survey designs, top three important online design elements to students.
We are all looking for resources to transform the quality of our digital instruction in ways that are the most effective for learners. QM is definitely one of those ways! Join us as we discuss how the real transformers - teachers - can rely on their Transformer Traits (working for good of all, being flexible, and speaking the language) to grow their commitment to quality and fully invest in continuous improvement by serving as QM Course Representatives.
