Conference Presentations
During this session, participants will review and develop course activities that allow students to actively engage with content and with each other. In addition, issues and strategies related to facilitation of student-to-student activities and group work will be presented and discussed.
Providing your online students with engaging video lectures is great. Yet, figuring out how to create engaging video lectures can be daunting, especially when you are not tech savvy. Come see some examples and learn about what simple tips you can do to make your online lectures interactive.
Institutions must create high-quality closed captions for videos delivered online. A large public university has created a three-tiered approach to developing captions on budget and at scale. Join us to see if our processes could be useful for your institution.
How do you institute optimal quality assurance on a budget? The conversation revolves around creative and innovative ways of ensuring quality through the use of available institutional resources. We share a four tier review process and discuss ways to manage the process.
This is a "conversation that matters" session and as such will involve group discussions.
In this presentation, we identify cultural aspects that affect course design, we discuss best design practices based on our experience relative to issues of gender, diversity, and inclusion, and we debate some of the pitfalls during the course design process that can arise due to cultural misconceptions.
With HED’s expectation that all online courses include “regular and substantive interaction,” one college designed delivery standards to ensure that presence in the classroom meets that requirement. See the delivery standards that are in place.
The main objective of this presentation is to share and demonstrate how online instructors can design and transform exams in science courses from the paper-pencil format to online assessments. In Engineering as in many other math and science disciplines, most exams need to assess students' mastery of knowledge and skills with calculation as well as problem solving, so exams made of mostly multiple-choice questions are not effective to measure learning outcomes.

We’re not telling you it’s going to be easy; we’re telling you it’s going to be worth it. Making digital content accessible for all so learners can access all content and activities and all learners can easily navigate and interact with all course components is our job. This session will explore the QM Standard 8 and give participants quick tips & examples to help meet the guidelines.
This presentation takes you through the 3 strategies used by the University of South Florida's Digital Learning department to introduce instructors to the Quality Matters review process and shows our central product, the Instructor Resource Center.
Continuous quality improvement requires change - and change is difficult. A transition team can thrive when it recognizes and addresses faculty fears. A faculty survey contrasted faculty perceptions before and after QM revision. Their concerns and assessments inform best practices.
We will share our approach of integrating QM principles, peer review, and course creation into our Distance Learning Design Seminar and other faculty development workshops. This provides a "Gateway" for quality, faculty-developed, student-centered courses.
Grab your accreditation surfboard and ride the wave to QM implementation with us! From the experience of a mid-size, underfunded state institution, hear how QM has become a beacon of quality assurance across the university.
Join us for a café conversation about baking in accessibility into your fresh course ideas. (Thursday, Nov. 1 10:10am)
These ideas are informed by disability laws, access guidelines, and the strategies used to develop an accessible MOOC with the lessons AMAC Accessibility has learned.
A truly accessible course for the widest range of learners is created by baking-in accessibility for people with disabilities.

We will review our research and findings on the myriad perceptions of who should lead varying course design tasks. We will then discuss an evidence-based approach to negotiate who should lead these tasks when working within an interprofessional course design team.
Research shows that 25% is the tipping point for social change. Malcolm Gladwell developed a model for starting social change beginning with identifying "mavens," "connectors," and "salespeople." Apply this model in the adaption of QM and ongoing QA. Are you a maven, a connector, or a salesperson?
How does QM align fractured processes into a cohesive QA program? Join a QA administrator, instructional designer, and online faculty member on the path from an unregulated Wild West online environment to a Modern era of structured course design and a review process that fully integrate QM standards. Review your own program, place it on the QM Continuum, and learn from other participants about their struggles and successes. This session will get you on the road of where you want to be with tips and tricks on how to arrive at your desired destination.
Hey, we want to put a course online…next term…the instructor has never taught online before…okay bye! Sound familiar? We are a small school at a large university and are creating a policy for online course development, so we meet QM standards, and increase quality assurance and faculty success.
