Conference Presentations
In the Office of e-Learning (OeL), we celebrate the success of faculty and staff members who effectively participate in OeL professional development with digital badges. In this interactive session, learn how to strategically align a digital badging initiative to Quality Matters Standards!
Quality matters in higher education, but what if your Teaching and Learning Center does not have the resources needed to address today’s teaching and learning needs? You get creative! Come learn how one community college reinvented faculty development, creating a new plan for quality assurance.
Which would you rather have? A great teacher with no industry experience? Or a solid industry expert with no teaching experience? At our top-five public university, we'll take the industry expert with that 423-page PPT every single time. Think about it - who would you take?
What do a Program Director, Director of e-Learning, and Adjunct Professor have in common? A commitment to adjunct instructor success! Examine how to use QM Rubric Standards, professional development, and networks of support to ensure your adjunct faculty soar…and come back for more!
In this conversation, we will review this history of synchronous online learning and discuss the transition our faculty and students have made to this modality. We will also discuss the barriers and solutions to these barriers that both students and faculty are facing, as well as their successes.
Strong, accessible course design begins with strong pedagogy. Reframing accessibility as a critical aspect of online pedagogy can guide educators in procuring, creating, and incorporating multimedia.
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is an important consideration for Emergent Bilinguals in K-12 and post-secondary settings. This session will provide insight and practice with a research based rubric for evaluation of online language learning tools.
Instructional Designers (IDs) can positively impact online education through research. Yet few ID job descriptions include research activities. In this panel session, IDs and supervisors at a large state university will offer pathways for IDs to be collaborative innovators advancing research.
Student success is our destination, and faculty dispositions are the vehicle to get us there. Effective teaching practice is shaped by educator dispositions. Faculty coaching can serve as a navigation system to help educators reflect on their dispositions, driving their professional practice.
Participants will be enrolled in a middle school online introductory unit and participate in an online treasure hunt. They will work through adaptive scenarios to discover the tools needed to ultimately find the hidden treasure and unlock the key to online learning.
Explore how a large public university weaves its QM implementation plan through the development process, how instructional designers humanize the rubric to help faculty engage with the concepts effectively, and how quality data is captured and used to drive strategic improvement on a broader scale.
More than one-quarter of the QM K-12 Rubric (5th ed.) standards have two parts. How can faculty and instructional designers ensure their courses meet both parts of these standards? How can reviewers write recommendations that address both parts?
This presentation will highlight the useful course review tool that faculty and peer reviewers used for online courses at a state university, where the course builds integrated Quality Matters Standards.
How do you demonstrate the impact of your QA efforts and use this information to sustain and build your work? In this session, we will share how we do this at our large public university, provide links to survey instruments, present results, and discuss how to incorporate evaluation into QA plans.
The Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Course Audit rubric was developed to identify areas of strength and areas of opportunity to create a more inclusive curriculum particularly for those from the historically marginalized communities we serve. In this presentation, we will discuss the application of the DEI Course Audit rubric to curriculum.
We will consider if the “special sauce” of a college experience lies in a sense of belonging or involvement in extra- and co-curricular activities. Are these adequately being extended to online students? Participants will consider how to create equitable opportunities in the online setting.
Collaborate with fellow faculty developers and share a bit of humor with the team that created and implemented a variety of “bite-sized” blended learning strategies to support faculty development and enhance engagement in both face to face and online faculty at a private Midwestern university.
Presence is a well-established construct individual instructors use to engage online students, but how do faculty and designers create a culture of presence across an entire program? This poster shares practical strategies to build and maintain an engaged, cohesive student experience from a program's start to finish.
