Inside Higher Ed's Survey of Faculty Attitudes on Technology gauges the views of college faculty members (and their administrative counterparts) on online education
and other issues.

The most recent CHLOE survey updates and expands our picture of how colleges ready their students and faculty for online education through formal preparation and ad hoc measures. The session examines whether these findings influence student outcomes, as reported in earlier CHLOE studies.

We will examine schematics on QM impact and determine how they can be applied.

We will share strategies for changing the institutional culture.

Evaluate the impact of Quality Matters on student engagement in online nursing courses. Student engagement will be compared in traditionally designed online nursing courses versus Quality Matters-designed online nursing courses. This research study is a retrospective data analysis.

You THINK implementing the Quality Matters Program at your institution is positively impacting teaching and learning, but how do you really KNOW? This workshop will help you learn how to assess QM's institutional impacts on a variety of levels including faculty transformation, student success and institutional policies and culture. Examine some schematics on impacts and determine how they can be applied.

Students value individualized and timely feedback (and RSI demands it!). This presentation introduces practical strategies for designing instruction that leverages feedforward, creating avenues for high-quality, personalized feedback.

Our university launched several initiatives to improve online education quality including adopting the Quality Matters (QM) standards for online course design, and creation of the Faculty Fellows (2017-2012). Two new initiatives are featured: (1) Quarterly Applying Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) Workshops and, (2) A series of 40 workshops offered weekly focusing on assessment, accessibility and technical skills. The establishment of these categories was created to support a QM based Master Course Template for the Learning Management System.The outcomes of the workshops have been positive.

Hands-On Labs allows students to replicate tactile lab experiences off-campus by using lab-grade materials in conjunction with a diverse experiment library that spans nine science disciplines.  We will be discussing the challenges of distance laboratories and how to overcome them by demonstrating the student experience with HOL cloud.

In this session a panel of representatives of Online Program Management companies discuss findings on the management of online post-secondary education as revealed in the QM-Eduventures CHLOE 3 Report and their role in supporting higher education institutions.

This interactive and engaging session will focus on how online learning principles, specifically the QM General Standards are applied in the face to face classroom.  Often, face to face courses lack clarity around the QM gold standards of "alignment".  Specifically, course goals, objectives, resources, assessments, learner support, etc. become lost to many students due to the "Sage on the Stage" teaching effect.

Distance education has grown tremendously.  Accompanying this growth is an increase in regulations and standards.  Institutions are asked by accrediting agencies and the federal government to provide evidence that demonstrates adherence to quality standards and compliance with regulations.  In this session attendees will learn how QM activities provide institutions evidence that addresses accreditation requirements and federal regulations. 

Join us to learn more about the Noel-Levitz Priorities Survey for Online Learners (PSOL) which captures both how satisfied students are with their online experience as well as what is most important to them.  These data can contribute to your student retention, accreditation and strategic planning efforts.  The PSOL is one of the featured instruments for the 2014-2015 Quality Matters Research Projects on the Student Voice. 

Teaching can be an exhausting, stressful profession. We'll discuss how to identify the situations causing stress and practical techniques for how to handle them.

Why create a course that is ‘meh’ when it’s so easy to create a course that is definitely “NOT MEH”!  See how easy it is to create engaging, interactive, professional-looking, online lessons that meet accessibility requirements, using SoftChalk.
