As part of QM's research agenda for 2014/2015, we want to encourage intra- and inter-institution research on how QM affects students. This session will introduce two projects, with some preliminary data, that focus on student perceptions of their online learning experience. The basic research question: How does applying QM to a course affect students?
Project 1) Compare online courses that do, and do not, meet QM standards in terms of affect, self-efficacy, and quality of experience as evidenced in real-time student feedback during the course
Project 2) Compare online units that do, and do not, use QM in terms of priorities and satisfaction and quality of experience as evidenced in student surveys
QM is working with two different organizations who are providing tools to support this research across participating institutions in QM's subscriber base. This presentation will discuss the connections of this research to existing research on QM, the research methodology, the tools, and anticipated data aggregated across participating institutions.
Come hear about these two studies QM is supporting, what we are finding, and how you might participate.
