This quality talk closely examines a private faith-based institution's experience with implementing internal course reviews while partnering with an OPM. During the exchange, the plan, the challenges, the process, and the results will be discussed.
Internationalizing QM
The discussion examines the intersection of exemplar accreditation standards from the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education of the American Occupational Therapy Association and Quality Matters Rubric Standards for best practice in distance education for occupational therapy practitioners. The comparison suggests opportunities for dialog between the organizations. The author recommends research and collaboration between accreditation agencies and institutes of higher education to modify standards related to distance education.
Digital badging is all the rage. But what exactly is a digital badge and how do they work? This presentation will explore the definition of a digital badge, how digital badges work. It will share our experience piloting digital badges for a certificate of completion and attainment of a competency.
The trajectory of QM-focused research has been from describing experience and observations (such as impact on satisfaction), to exploring narrowing foci (such as interaction), to applying established educational frameworks (such as TPACK and CoI), to correlating data (such as grades). The result is a rich foundational body of research, along with actionable information on the complexities of educational research. To encourage researchers to benefit from these foundations, a framework for finding and using evidence on QM impact will be introduced during this poster session.
Join this interactive session to brainstorm and learn how organizing strategies can help to create a faculty-led culture of QM reviews.
Join the Google Document to share resistances you encounter and provide solutions. MOre information will be added to the document after the presentation.
As a new subscriber to Quality Matters, we were interested in helping faculty and instructors who teach online use the QM rubrics in course development and revision in nonthreatening
ways. Pilots occurred in the Graduate Program in Nursing, Graduate Program in Education, and in a selection of online summer offerings in the Undergraduate program. This presentation will demonstrate the many ways that institutions might introduce the QM rubrics to their faculty in supportive and non-threatening ways.
During this discussion participants will discover how a large public university used the ViVo tool to marry analytics and ADA compliance to video-based content; making online learning truly accessible, effective, and transformatively engaging!
Co-Presenter: Lergia Olivo
Designed for faculty, staff, and administrators relatively new
to QM. Come for a quick introduction of QM, how it works, what's in it for institutions, and how QM can support efforts to help students succeed.
Master Reviewers and Facilitators, have you ever heard questions like these? How much is enough to pass a standard? How many items from the annotations should they have?How do you know that it’s 85%? While facilitating QM Applying the Rubric workshops and chairing reviews, I find that participants and reviewers alike can be challenged when it comes to determining if individual Standards are met.
Three years into our Online Teaching Fellows program, we were asked this question: Is it working? After an awkward silence and some shuffling of papers, we realized that we had been spending too much time assuming that it was working and not enough time assessing it. This session will introduce our assessment process and facilitate a discussion on how best to start meaningful assessment of a QM-centered professional development program.
Reliable evidence of student learning depends on assessments that are seamlessly aligned with learning outcomes and activities. In this session, participants will explore how a strategic
performance-based approach to course design has enabled one college to meet QM Standards.
This session will focus on using the E-Learning Usability Scale for Higher Education to address standard 8.1 Course navigation facilitates ease of use. We will explore strategies to reduce cognitive overload, guide attention, and increase motivation.
It's easy to look at each of the QM rubric items separately, but that segregation leads to a more difficult process of having a course that meets the rubric. This interactive discussion will raise participant awareness about the need to integrate their thinking about all the standard items as a whole, rather than looking at them as separate issues.
Captioning video content can be an expensive and challenging endeavor, which can be difficult to accomplish on a large scale. To meet Standard 8.3, "The course provides alternative means of access to course materials," Oregon State University Ecampus developed an internal process to caption video and lecture content for courses going through a Quality Matters review. This session will focus on the process for easily and affordably creating captions for media.
