2019 QM Connect Conference

Participate in a conversation to dispel the myths surrounding online teaching and to provide reasonable strategies for faculty to communicate, respond to and provide feedback to online learners. Our emphasis is on managing learner expectations and maximizing teacher presence to increase engagement.

Simple practices make it easier for course designers to create student content use. Use Grackle on documents for accessibility and quick revisions. Learn to design courses with the common thread of improving navigation and usability within the LMS.

Hear encouraging words from educators, get positive advice from national experts, gain proof of making a successful course! We share our approach to obtaining a Quality Matters first while improving engagement and usability for students.

A gap in professional development to meet the requirement of online teaching experience was recently identified on our campus. This presentation will discuss how the Strategies for Teaching Online, a fully online course aligned to the QM Rubric, was developed to address the gap.

This poster will focus on how the features of a learning management system can be used to engage learners in an online learning environment.

How can you uphold and promote academic integrity while applying Standard 6.1 in support of Standard 3.1? Join faculty members and departmental leadership from four divisions to discuss the evolution and adoption of an institutional policy and system for a large community college.

Presenters will open with a discussion of the need for online learning support staff to have a common basis of knowledge as faculty who are designing to particular quality standards.
 
Open discussion of creating relationships based on achieving standards.

Attendees will leave with a customized approach and training structure to support the success of their instructional design support staff.

We are a large public University that offers over 1,000 individual online courses. We are in the early phases of implementing QM as an institution-wide quality assurance program. Our poster will address how to prepare an instructional design team for QM implementation as well as the strategies and tools we developed to streamline the course design process. As instructional designers complete APPQMR, they will be able to guide faculty using the QM HE Rubric while developing courses. In addition, instructional designers garner buy-in from faculty throughout QM implementation.

This poster's focus is on approaches used to engage faculty in course improvement. With program-level leadership and department and university support, significant efforts to meet QM Standards are underway. I will discuss our process and progress.

Professional development is a necessary activity for faculty devoted to the learning of their students. In this session you will learn about different strategies on how to encourage faculty to improve what they do while delivering an online course.
