QM Success Stories

There is no substitute for experience! Your colleagues who have experience meeting QM's rigorous course design Standards and implementing QM on their campuses can provide you with valuable insights and experience. "QM Success Stories" webinars are presented by your colleagues and fellow members. They will share their experiences on topics like these and more: 

  • How do I create a plan for implementing QM at my organization?
  • What does a course look like that has met QM Standards?

The sessions are scheduled once per month and are FREE for members only! Space is limited to the first 1000 registrants. You can register once and view the webinar with colleagues. The webinars are also live captioned! Can't make it? All QM Success Stories are recorded and available to subscribers approximately two weeks after the session via the Reference Library link located in MyQM.

Participants will examine key QM Standards, compare non-QM and QM-aligned course content, and create a Quick-Start Plan for applying QM principles to their own course design. Participants will leave with practical, learner-centered strategies they can begin using right away.

    Built to Engage: Using a Quality-Aligned Canvas Template to Power Interactive Learning Activities

    Presented by Angi Karthik and Catelyn Janda (Iowa State University) and Jess Kahlow (CidiLabs)

    Engaging learning activities are essential to quality course design, but how can instructors easily create meaningful practice opportunities in Canvas? Join Cidi Labs and Iowa State University to see how ISU uses DesignPLUS to build a QM-aligned Canvas template and integrate low-stakes, interactive knowledge checks throughout their courses. You'll learn how their template supports intentional course design while making it easy to add engaging learning activities right where students need them. Plus, we'll spotlight ISU's yearly grant program, where faculty redesign courses alongside instructional designers, and we'll showcase example learning activities you can weave into your own Canvas courses.
