Bring a brand new set of skills and techniques on course design and delivery home to your learners. This curated selection of sessions provides hands-on, practical experience with tools, techniques and ideas that will put you on a path to designing and teaching learner-centric courses that support success in a fast-changing landscape.

With a major focus on AI — how it affects pedagogy, how learners are using it, and ways to leverage it effectively in the classroom — you’ll learn how to continue to connect with today’s learners. Sessions focused on course delivery will deepen your understanding of engagement, interaction and equity, while design-oriented sessions will give you new perspectives and tools for addressing accessibility, UDL and alignment.

For the first time, Quality in Action will also offer a set of sessions on QM implementation. These sessions will help you build and advocate for a robust quality assurance ecosystem to ensure that your institution is taking full advantage of your membership.

Network with a diverse group of like-minded peers, experts and practitioners to exchange ideas and experiences on how to implement and evaluate quality assurance processes and standards.
