Rethinking your multiple-choice exams? Tired of discussions that seem like busywork? This session will highlight assessment types, examples, and strategies, including designing authentic assessments and using LMS tools to support your assessment goals.
Providing academic support services to students in 100% online degree programs can be difficult. Add to the mix a large multi-campus institution with students taking courses across these campuses and it becomes perplexing. Come learn how Indiana University offers academic support in writing and math directly to online students.
Did you know you can meet 10 of the 43 QM standards with little to no work on your end? Our office collaborated with other stakeholders in online education at Indiana University to develop a syllabus template you can adapt and use for your courses. Not only does this template help you meet 10 QM standards, it's also accessible for all students. Come find out how you can use this template to make your online course design a little simpler.
As the population of online and hybrid learners steadily increases among higher education institutions, so does the need for student-centered services that promote learner success. Heeding this call and continuing its legacy of educational access for all, a mid-size, southern HBCU recognized the need to develop academic and student support networks reliable enough to serve as a standard for quality support yet flexible enough for personalized learner success.
The Quality Matters community is growing at an exponential rate as schools reimagine how to infuse quality into the online and hybrid learning experience. But what does an institution do when its supply of QM support is greatly outweighed by faculty and departmental demand? When this occurred at one mid-sized liberal arts HBCU, the institution systematically changed its organizational framework and practices to meet its rapidly increasing needs.
In this engaging, interactive session you will learn an easy process that leads to higher rates of learner memory recall. Using simple Web 2.0 tools we will create our own strategically spaced "recall events" that can help students encode course content into long term memory. Attendees will leave this session with methods and tools which will allow them and their students to work smarter, not harder, and efficiently put the knowledge in technology.
Join this leadership panel session after the keynote to further discuss the ways that leaders can develop strategies to tackle projects and challenges at a variety of institutions. Panelists representing leadership positions at private, community, and public universities will share their strategies for addressing a project or challenge at their institution. A template will be provided so that participants can brainstorm a leadership strategy for addressing a project or challenge at their own institution. This session will close with a sharing of ideas and suggestions for moving forward.
This session is designed to share challenges and opportunities for applying the QM rubric to a doctoral dissertation course space or other individualized research course. A number of barriers and hurdles to development and delivery of the process will be shared as relate to the incorporation of QM rubric application and processes. Specific application in both Blackboard and Canvas Learning Management Systems will be included.
This conference was originally planned to be held in New York City, but we all find ourselves in a very different place and state of mind today. As the QM East conference winds down, this part of the program will open up a space to reflect on what the Covid-19 emergency measures have meant for quality initiatives across institutions (for better, for worse, and as yet to be seen!). How has this time of remote instruction shifted your thinking about the QM Rubric? Are some elements more important than others during a time of crisis?
Join us as we share our process for training and supporting new online faculty within the context of QM's Standards.
