Conference Presentations
Post-secondary students often find pursuing a degree online becomes cumbersome because of the complex support services provided. This session explores QM's Online Learner Support Certification and how it can make a difference in student experience.
In this session, we will review established frameworks for flipped and blended course design that will allow faculty to develop quality courses (that contain synchronous components) during and after the pandemic.
Employers today desire candidates who have learned beyond the content and can demonstrate competency in important workforce skills. Come learn about one instructor's approach to implementing a workforce skills development model into their curriculum.
Our hope is that, by the end of the session, participants will be able to reflect on the effect an integrated designed course blueprint has on their ability to improve teaching and significant student learning by:
Analyzing current course design and redesign practices.
Examining how integrated course design improves their teaching and student learning.
Considering a model to integrate alignment, student and program assessment, and professional growth.
Have you had to manage more than a couple of course reviews at the same time? Have you asked the same reviewer to serve on multiple QM Review Teams? Did you accidentally email the same reviewer twice in a week? Once the review is complete, how do you know if you have accomplished all the post review details?
The online students are here! This session will be focused on how to provide high quality student services. Historically offering mainly face-to-face programs, our school has been ramping up our online student services in anticipation of a big transition as we launch our first online Masters degree in fall 2020. The rapid shift to remote education due to COVID-19 forced us to launch these efforts in the spring of 2020.
In fall of 2019 our Director of Curriculum and Instruction attended a statewide training with other curriculum directors across the state of Arkansas. In this session, the curriculum directors across the state were asked, "What is your Instructional Model?" It was at that time our Director of Curriculum and Instruction reached out to our C&I team and Design and Development team and asked, "What is our Instructional Model?" We didn't have a clear answer. We had practices, beliefs, procedures, and QM/NSQ standards.
Learn how one online university achieved a culture of quality by applying a systematic instructional design process and theory-based design principles, as well as a rigorous and ongoing audit process to confirm quality standards are met.
Feeling stalled in your QM implementation efforts? Ready to move to the next stage but not sure how? This presentation will frame your concerns in the language of change management based on recently published research on the QM Continuum of Excellence.
The crowd-sourced site Wikipedia historically is disregarded by the academic community as unreliable. However, online college courses can help improve Wikipedia. This poster explains how journalism and mass communication courses taught online applied subject-matter concepts according to Quality Matters standards to edit Wikipedia articles. This approach can be used for any subject.
Join us for an interactive and hands-on workshop where participants learn how to collaboratively communicate in a fun and comical way that can be immediately be implemented at institutions post QM Connect.
