Description
This dialogue session gives participants an opportunity to grapple with large-scale campus buy-in and implementation of QM with campus community and faculty. University leaders support infusing standards but struggle with concerns of academic freedom and, thus, often do not impose standards.
Learning Objectives: After this session, participants will be able to . . .
Convene members on participants' campuses to facilitate adoption of QM.
This is a 5 minute Quality Talk Presentation over an initiative to standardize departmental policies and practices as they relate to online education. The slides are mostly cut and pastes from our policy document.
Discover a tool that streamlines curriculum development while also ensuring QM alignment. Use it with your team to create, update, analyze, and make informed decisions about curricula that meet QM Standards. Bring a laptop and your curriculum components to apply the tool or watch an example.
Participants examine resistance to online teaching, quality assurance, and course development; learn effective ways to address perceived barriers; and identify approaches to engage diverse faculty in a campus-wide QM Community of Practice on their campuses.
Learn how one K-12 district utilizes QM's CPE Standards as the basis for a certification course required of any staff wanting to develop and offer a fully online professional learning (PL) course. In other words, how do the CPE Standards help us "ride herd" on online PL course development and avoid the"'Wild West"?
Rush College of Nursing (CON) was one of the first in the country to develop fully online graduate nursing programs. Enrollment continues to grow and many of them are among the top ten nursing programs in the United States. However, students persistently decry course delivery methods. They complain of disorganization, out-of-date methods of delivery, and lack of instructor presence in the course. Enter Quality Matters. The use of the Quality Matters scoring rubric enhanced the credibility and validity of the review because the review was based on best practices.
Are you hungry for course alignment? In this session, you'll practice the fundamental process of designing an aligned course from "scratch." Using the tools created by the USI Instructional Designer team as your main ingredient, you will end up with a delicious course recipe.
