The Power of LMS Template Design Models to Improve Online Learning

Research shows that creating institutional LMS templates embedded with quality standards are a direct aid to advancing QA implementation, and can improve consistency, clarity, ease of use, and even course completions.

Additionally, faculty might erroneously feel that a template meant to support their design work impinges on academic freedom if campus messaging is not accurate, as well as being inclusive of faculty and student needs and concerns. In this presentation, Dr. Cristi Ford will review the research on LMS templates and provide a pathway to creating one for your institution. Come hear tips and strategies to incorporate institutional quality practices into a template that can set your faculty up for their design success!
