Creative Alternatives for Fiscally Responsible Quality Assurance

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.

Culture and Diversity Matter

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.

Design Exams in Science Courses That Truly Measure Learning Outcomes

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.

Designing for All, It's All in the Design

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.

Fresh Ideas With Accessibility Baked-In

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.

Head 'Em Out! Move 'Em On! Developing a Quality Assurance Program Using Quality Matters

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.
