“Fostering Student Engagement” Are you growing weary of text-heavy content inside online courses? If so, this session is for you!
The goal of this session is to share strategies used by the North Carolina Virtual Public School that capture the attention of students and support learning activities. Learning objects can be used to help your online course meet and exceed QM Standard 6.2.
Bloom Carroll High School, a small rural high school in Ohio, launched an online Career Exploration Course, and 10% of the student body has enrolled. This course is designed to help students find their pathway from a backpack to the workplace. Students are able to work during their study halls at school, or from any external computer, tablet, or even phone! In this course, students immediately develop a personal connection with their work, as it is all about the road map to their life after high school.
Facilitating a QM program at a large college district can be very challenging. It is often difficult to achieve consensus among campus leaders regarding direction and procedure. Through trial and error and in cooperation with the seven colleges of the Dallas County Community College District, we have identified effective steps to facilitating the QM review process on a large scale. This presentation will address a variety of issues encountered when managing a QM program at a multi-campus institution.
This presentation will engage program attendees in a discussion of the value of alternative pathways to achieve quality in online programs and to demonstrate the impact of internal QM reviews on institutional culture and quality improvement on programs and courses.
