2020 QM ConnectLX

How do we ensure academic success for every student? In this presentation, attendees will explore how to use Karaoke and other interactive tools to actively engage students in the learning process.

This session will provide strategies to help the instructor identify creative ways to encourage student engagement.  The session will also show instructors how these activities can be used to vary assessment.  It is believed that the suggested strategies will make the class more interactive and useful for the student. 

Objective alignment is essential in course design, yet, hard to understand.  We strove to create a document showing alignment.  The Course Alignment Matrix is now a primary tool in our QM courses and is used to show faculty how to achieve alignment.

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.

Zoom fatigue has become a new term. It doesn't have to be that way. Synchronous classes have their place in good quality online learning. How do we find the sweet mix of synchronous, asynchronous, and offline activities in our online learning?

This session will provide university faculty and staff an effective method to support university students who study online through an instrumental mentoring program using available time and resources.
