The QM Rubric provides pathways to help faculty design assessments that can address up to three needs at once, including changing accreditors' standards. This session will highlight examples and creative faculty training to streamline assessment.
See how Blackhawk Technical College is aligning three of their campus star solutions to enhance course design and promote student engagement and success for online and blended courses.

Come hear our preliminary data and take away ideas for developing your own institutional specific research on the implementation and effectiveness of the QM Standards in higher education courses.
Academic rigor is often touted but rarely defined, leading to assumptions it exists without evidence. A new definition distinguishes teacher/student responsibilities, disentangles rigor from curriculum/learning and leverages evidence to document it.
What do you do when your math courses are your lowest-performing courses AND are inaccessible? Do you rewrite them? Do you remediate them? Do you focus on instructor training? This session will show you how to do all of the above
Conduct an internal QM review during course design using QM4Design, an all-in-one GPS that keeps both instructional designers and faculty on the same road to quality. Make your reservation for a QM trip and plan your institution's destination.
More instructors than ever are using OER but may not always use them effectively. Our session provides an overview of best practices for use based on research and experience and includes tips, tricks and tools. No apps need to be downloaded beforehand.
When the topic of QM Research is brought up, what comes to mind for many is research on the impact on courses, instructors, and students that results from implementing Quality Matters. Studies on QM impact are, in fact, one important focus of QM Research, with the others being research that supports the QM Rubric and process and research that examines the use of QM. A basis in regular, rigorous, continuous validation through research is what makes the QM Rubric unique.
We applied QM concepts to instructor delivery conducted via a teaching excellence rubric. QM-inspired revisions included splitting rubric criteria into distinct parts, clarifying language, and applying the 85% principle.
How does one lead a team in a collaborative process of building quality online courses? The practice of yoga provides a compelling image through which to explore the presence and work of those who lead design teams. Toward that end, the metaphor can help faculty and instructional designers begin work with a design team, assume their professional persona, work the creative process, deal with competing forces to create something new, lead difficult team members, endure complications with patience, and learn from their work. This workshop is not really about yoga, but you may learn some!
