Leading a Culture of Quality Assurance to Measure Impact on Student Success
The 23-campus California State University Quality Assurance program has progressively built a culture of quality and evidence for effective online-blended courses since 2011. This session will demonstrate how we evolved to go beyond professional development activities, to implementing a four-stage course certification process, disseminating certified course exemplars, and analyzing results of our student impact research efforts. Multiple opportunities for discussion-engagement and resources will be made available.
Learner Success from the Get-Go: Two Levels of Orientation Set the Stage
Does your online program include two orientations: Level 1-Orientation to Online Learning and Level 2-Orientation for an Online Course? In this session, participants will discuss the role and value of each level, and learn how other institutions design, deliver, and track learner activity.
Learning Theories that Underpin Quality Matters
Theories of learning underpin approaches to program development, as well as course development. This roundtable will focus on the latter and will be an opportunity to discuss the learning theories in relation to the Quality Matters Rubric and peer review process. Traditional learning theories, such as behaviorism/objectivism, cognitivism, and constructivism, as well as the more recent theories, such as connectivism. We will also look at the emerging interdisciplinary field of the learning sciences.
