Designing quality elearning courses is complex: there are many QM standards to address in addition to all the content outcomes, institutional requirements, and technology choices. How can faculty keep up with it all and not feel overwhelmed? To meet the needs of numerous adjuncts and our small college size, a common course shell was developed as a repository for sharing best practices, examples, tools, and recommended methods for meeting both QM and student success standards.
This session will cover the differences among a directory approach, a showcase approach, and a template approach; our reasons for selecting and creating a directory will be highlighted. The directory site will be showcased and examples for a few of the 2011-2013 Rubric standards will be shown and shared. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss benefits and weaknesses of this approach and to share their own examples. Ideas, examples, and open resources will be collated into a shared resource for future use by attendees and their peers.
