2020 QM ConnectLX

SME Interviewing is a simple technique that supports the transformation of good course design to an exceptional one. Learn, practice, and apply this discovery-phase technique to achieve a memorable, meaningful impact for learners.

Follow the yellow brick road to becoming  a QM K-12 Certified Course Reviewer.  In this presentation you will learn the steps you will need to take in order to become a certified course reviewer.

This highly engaging and thought-provoking session explores extant research targeting autistic online learners and offers QM-inspired recommendations for supporting these exceptional students to promote inclusive, neurodiverse online environments.

An important component of facilitating learning is the development of clearly measurable rubrics that assist the learner to understand what s/he will need to be able to demonstrate and accomplish to achieve the specific learning outcomes related to a given assignment or deliverable. In higher level learning opportunities (high school, college, university, and corporate), many assignments and learning activities are related to more than one learning outcome.

Join us for an interactive and hands-on workshop where participants learn how to collaboratively communicate in a fun and comical way that can be immediately be implemented at institutions post QM Connect.

In this session, we will review established frameworks for flipped and blended course design that will allow faculty to develop quality courses (that contain synchronous components) during and after the pandemic.

The presentation will provide a lecture-style format discussing the journey to QM course certification in a nursing informatics course that adopted OER during the certification process. The presentation will provide time for discussion regarding specific courses that learners may want to implement with OER. The discussion will provide learners an opportunity to ask questions applicable to adopting OER in specific online courses. 

Polling, pairing, sharing, in partnerships and small groups will occur throughout.  Participants should be prepared to self-reflect and share personal teaching experiences in connection with the 10 pedagogical principles and teaching strategies presented. This session will be highly interactive, with several stopping points in the presentation for personal interaction. Cell phones usage required, and the audience should be motivated to talk and listen to others throughout.

In an ideal world, all course design templates would be uniform and easy to implement, especially during a time of crises. Although we do not live in an ideal world, we are confident our interactive 20/20 Course Design ℞ is an antidote to improve our focus on a quality course design.

Join the QM IDA Leadership Team for an overview of what the Quality Matters Instructional Designers Association is, an update on the past year's accomplishments, and plans for the coming year. Current and potential members are welcome to attend.
