In this presentation, we will give you actionable ways to create a more inclusive online course by using language and images that include all learners. We will share examples of student feedback from our courses, workshop examples of updating course language to be more inclusive, and discuss the why behind the changes.
This active learning session shares best practices in facilitating collaborative learning to engage students in various online learning courses. The topics include: effective group management strategies, applying authentic contexts to motivate students, and assessment strategies to measure student achievement of learning outcomes, while assuring student accountability and fair assessment practices. Examples of using AI-assisted grading tools to integrate timely feedback and RSI will be shared.
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.
Leverage the features in your LMS to meet QM standards on an institutional level allowing faculty to focus on the content standards. An instructional designer, division leadership, faculty from Humanities, Math, and Health Sciences will explain how a college wide approach to meeting standards is saving faculty course representatives time and creating a consistent user experience for all students college wide.
The presentation will focus on enhancing videos in online courses to impact student achievement and overall course quality. Tools and processes to easily enhance course videos will be demonstrated along with our experience in creating such videos.

Do you get confused with General Standard 8? You are not alone! Come learn how to distinguish between the usability and the accessibility aspects. You will be able to apply each Specific Review Standard better and write clear constructive suggestions clearly supported by the Rubric.
Self-study curricular design offers unique opportunities through formative, systematic work using QM Standards during development. The purpose of this session is to propose Scholarship of Teaching and Learning be intentionally integrated into program development.
NC State University's Digital Education and Learning Technology Applications (DELTA) has collaborated with 65 instructors to apply the Quality Matters course design standards to a single online or hybrid course, resulting in QM certification for all submitted courses. To measure the wider impact of participation, we asked faculty to reflect on what they had learned about course design and how they had applied that knowledge in additional courses.

We use three models for multi-media in our courses: videos of faculty created while collaborating with a video production specialist, student created videos, and faculty “lectures”. We will discuss these models and the successes and challenges we faced in creating multi-media for our courses.
This session is an interactive game show to introduce attendees to the QM Standards. This fun session will engage participants to apply QA frameworks to create high-quality courses that empower your learners. We will cover all 8 general standards in lightning rounds with reflection points between rounds. Participants will win prizes and learn how the QM Standards can inform the design of effective, high-quality courses.
Assessment is a complex subject and can take many forms. Used appropriately, assessments align with course objectives and ensure those objectives are met. Which types of assessment are most appropriate? And at what time should they be administered? How can low stakes assessments be used to build mastery and confidence? How does peer assessment fit into an overall assessment strategy? How can we measure a student's ability to demonstrate real-world skills? Join us to discuss timing, strategies, techniques, and examples participants can use in their own course design.
