Quality Matters (QM) standards aim to enhance student learning through the quality assurance of online courses. This study tries to answer the question whether faculty training on QM standards enhances online course design as perceived by students in terms of learning objective, instructional material, learner engagement, outcome assessment and course technology.
In this presentation, we will discuss a case-study example of moving a course from face-to-face to online and now to hybrid and discuss the opportunities and challenges from this experience.
“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.
This session was presented by Dr David Shulman, Campus President, and Dr Yaping Gao, District Director of Instructional Design, from Broward College Online.
This presentation describes the organization, policy development, strategic initiatives, implementation, and assessment associated with establishing online learning at an urban, Land-grant, historically black university. We will showcase how a partnership with QM provided structure and a best practices model. The case will describe a four year strategic approach whereby online learning grew in a measured fashion through a collaborative approach among faculty, administrators and external partners. We will reflect upon challenges, successes, and sustainability.
Are you a course developer who can't find time to prepare your course so that it's ready to sail smoothly through a Quality Matters course review? Or maybe you're the "captain" of faculty training at your institution, and you want to chart a course that will allow faculty to dedicate time to revisions and review of a course through the lens of the QM Rubric. Join us to learn about barriers course developers may be facing and find out how WKU solved their dilemma with a low-stress and interactive workshop series.
Do you have faculty going in a multitude of directions with their online courses? Learn about our initial attempt to guide instructors with a nine-week online faculty development program to help them to transform their face-to-face courses into an online format that follows selected QM Standards. Review literature about evaluating the effectiveness of faculty development programs. Join in a discussion about introducing QM through faculty development and about methods to measure initial program impact.

We will examine schematics on QM impact and determine how they can be applied.
We will share strategies for changing the institutional culture.
You THINK implementing the Quality Matters Program at your institution is positively impacting teaching and learning, but how do you really KNOW? This workshop will help you learn how to assess QM's institutional impacts on a variety of levels including faculty transformation, student success and institutional policies and culture. Examine some schematics on impacts and determine how they can be applied.
Join us to learn more about the Noel-Levitz Priorities Survey for Online Learners (PSOL) which captures both how satisfied students are with their online experience as well as what is most important to them. These data can contribute to your student retention, accreditation and strategic planning efforts. The PSOL is one of the featured instruments for the 2014-2015 Quality Matters Research Projects on the Student Voice.
This presentation will show how three QM Certified courses in three different disciplines used unique and engaging strategies to meet the QM Standards. The presenters will discuss their use of modular course design, and the implementation of module learning guides that show alignment of unit/module learning outcomes, course learning outcomes, and program learning outcomes for all course activities and assessments.
The College began a three-year, institution-level Quality Matters implementation Plan in 2011, by building QM standards into all aspects of its course development process. The plan included QM-managed course reviews of four model courses, subscriber-managed reviews of 28 courses, internal/unofficial reviews of 120 courses, and a commitment to professional development in PRC, MRC, and face-to-face/online certified facilitation of APPQMR.
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Center for Online Learning, Teaching and Technology has developed and implemented a gamification framework, which applies best practices and Quality Matters principles to their online and hybrid courses. The framework provides a means of using such items for storytelling, achievements for badges, and clever application of adaptive release within learning modules. Join us to learn how to apply game thinking, game elements, and game mechanics into non-game environments.
Internationalizing QM
Join this interactive session to brainstorm and learn how organizing strategies can help to create a faculty-led culture of QM reviews.
