Conference Presentations
We developed a database where the consortium’s 19 institutions responded to 240 questions on sustainability and quality in online teaching and learning. We will show our Database of Online Learning Information (DOLLI) and discuss purposeful and strategic information sharing to improve our jobs and online programs.
To remain competitive and innovative, Collin College moved courses from in-person to online delivery and opened our virtual campus, iCollin. Many of the courses were never taught online, and we wanted to ensure the same quality and rigor for students. We utilized the MyCR system in QM to and created a custom rubric to provide a solid and measurable review process.
Participants from small or large institutions will be emboldened to overcome learner disengagement by effectively transforming learners into peer-instructors, in productive ways that leads to greater outcomes for all learners.
Online Course Representatives (CR) at our institution aim to earn Silver & Gold Accessibility Badges by designing courses accessible to all learners. Connect with our eLearning Team to learn tips, tricks, and lessons learned from Championing Accessibility, Specific Review Standard (SRS) 8.3. You too can expand your possibilities and Champion Accessibility!
QM Standards, high-impact practices, and mental health challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic prompted undergraduate research dedicated to improving support for students. The session will share how student engagement in quality learning experiences is supporting department & university initiatives.
Does your course stack up? Alignment, academic rigor, and course level are key building blocks for quality course design. If one block is missing, the whole structure might tumble like a Jenga puzzle. See how we created a rubric to ensure our courses were built to put student success on top!
This enlightening session examines diverse, inclusive, and equitable online course design best practices and emphasizes how they can transform the learning experience for online learning communities. Delve into a variety of strategies you can employ to create inclusive digital experiences for all!
Is the thought of your first QM certification review giving you heartburn? We’ll provide the antacid in the form of process documents and checklists you can use to help you get that review completed in no time!
QM implementation plans focus on building coalitions with various stakeholders and are led by a faculty task force. We plan to implement the QM process by utilizing LMS templates, one-on-one consultations, and internal course reviews. In addition, we provide opportunities for QM PD and recognition.
Navigating a course is like planning a road trip. Learners find their way while being aware of potential potholes, toll roads, and speed traps. Learn how thoughtful assessment planning at a public community college lead to customized CBE courses that help learners reach their learning destination.
Peer evaluations are used to gauge an instructor’s teaching performance. A peer observer’s feedback, however, could contain implicit biases. Quality instructional design often yields quality teaching. This presentation shares how the Quality Matters Rubric led the design of a peer evaluation tool.
With more faculty becoming familiar with using multimedia in online courses, the question that needs to be addressed is how effective are we at reaching our students. In this session, we will explore the research and discuss a framework for developing quality multimedia for online courses.
Come learn how a holistic approach towards accessibility launched a movement to improve equity and inclusion in online courses university-wide. An accessibility checker integrated into the LMS empowered faculty to incorporate more accessible design into their online courses.
CCCS is reimagining online learning across the state’s 13 community colleges. This session will address our efforts to expand the QM framework to incorporate DEI elements into the criteria for a “healthy course.” We will share resources, successes, and challenges related to promoting equitable online learning experiences.
Is your curriculum team assessing potential new courses, authoring your own, or reviewing existing content for updates? Our Course Planning, Design, and Review Tool can help! WVS created this tool in Google Sheets to help initially vet a mix of vendor, national, and local content. Participants will be invited to share their experiences with online course quality evaluation (all stages of this journey welcome!) as well.
Do you still have faculty trying to teach online classes the same way they teach F2F classes? It is not the same! Training prior to teaching is imperative. How can it be accomplished? Expand the possibilities on your campus and hear how this small CC campus handles training with limited resources.
In this session, participants will discover and discuss the development of a large-scale, programmatic quality assurance plan utilizing master courses across disciplines at a mid-sized community college for an accelerated Associate's Degree program using 5-week courses.
Drowning in faculty support requests? In the wake of a pandemic, many industries including education have been forced to rethink operational models. Much like a hybrid course model, instructional support services CAN be effectively delivered through a thoughtful blend of in-person & online elements.
