This presentation takes you through the 3 strategies used by the University of South Florida's Digital Learning department to introduce instructors to the Quality Matters review process and shows our central product, the Instructor Resource Center.
The assumption that better student performance data invariably leads to improved student outcomes does not, unfortunately, hold true in many schools and colleges. Often, many challenges get in the way of improving student outcomes. There are specific challenges in using data to empower teaching effectiveness on an ongoing basis. Getting the right insight at the right time from data requires a commitment to both informational and organizational change. This presentation explores some lessons learned from our experience.
Are your workforce program’s learning outcomes and curriculum relevant to today’s employer’s needs? Are your faculty and administrators aware of the current industry and workforce trends? Workforce program aligned advisory councils can help answer these questions. Their purpose is to support workforce program quality assurance. Learn how to form, facilitate and use academic program advisory councils.
In this session, we will highlight how the QM K12 Rubric can be used to support instructional coaching in an asynchronous virtual program. We will provide examples of how the rubric's annotations for K-5 courses can guide teachers in creating effective content. We will also discuss how coaches can use the rubric to provide constructive feedback that improves teacher efficacy and student achievement.
Are you unsure how QM professional development can help your institution achieve its quality assurance (QA) efforts? Would it be helpful to have faculty complete online, virtual, or face-to-face workshops? Do you want a QM Facilitator or someone from your institution to facilitate? Whether you are just getting started or have most faculty trained in the APPQMR, come learn from community members how QM professional development helped take their QA to the next level.
Despite two decades of rumors to the contrary, email is here to stay and it is a mainstay of distance and blended learning. Jason will discuss basic email strategy, and easy-to-adopt strategies to make your emails receive more attention and keep communication professional and productive.
We are revolutionizing professional development for part time faculty! Come see how we transformed a 32 week program, specific to our part time faculty, to shortened terms of 8 weeks. We achieved a 70% increase in completions and improved learner success.

The purpose of the current study is to collect pre- and post-experiential data on the student’s perceptions of using emerging technologies in 2 online courses. We examined the student’s previous online experiences or expectations of an online course and compared that with their experiences in the courses that will use emerging technologies. The intent is to measure whether or not these technologies improved student engagement.
This enlightening session is dedicated to maximizing accessibility and equity in education through the strategic utilization of Learning Management System (LMS) features. Together, we'll delve into the core principles of inclusive design, identifying common accommodations outlined in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Through practical demonstrations and discussions, we'll explore innovative strategies for seamlessly integrating these accommodations into course design using the built-in features of the most prevalent LMS platforms.
In the dynamic world of educational technology, custom Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) stand at the forefront of a transformative shift in instructional design. This engaging presentation is set to explore the tangible benefits of weaving custom GPTs into the fabric of educational planning and execution. From drafting pinpointed objectives to crafting vibrant lesson plans and assessments, custom GPTs hold the key to a new realm of efficiency and effectiveness in education.
Would you like to learn strategies to empower your student’s agency in your course? This session will discuss how voice and choice strategies were integrated in online environments to promote learner agency.
In this presentation, we will discuss practical strategies to foster student engagement in the elementary virtual classroom environment. The presentation will focus on ways to engage students both in the synchronous and asynchronous setting, particularly while using Google Jamboard.
How do we encourage students' investment in learning to position them toward educational equity? Join this conversation to examine learner investment and educational equity. Leave with a plan to implement real-world approaches recommended by peers.

Innovations in Making Quality Matter
PRESENTATION FORMAT: Panel (The panel will incorporate virtual and live speakers.)
Title of Proposal
Teacher presence is important online but different than in the face to face classroom. It needs to be intentional. Strategies for expectations and feedback need to be utilized. Flexibility is needed to adjust to learners' needs. This presentation will cover ideas to enhance teacher presence.
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.
Oregon State University College of Engineering and Ecampus have partnered to establish the Center for Research in Online Engineering Education, which conducts research projects on online engineering education and provides seed grants for SoTL research related to online engineering courses. The partnership has funded four research projects in its first two years and may result in the creation of tenure-track positions in computing and engineering education in the College of Engineering.
Timeline Review and Program Support
Purpose of the Cohort Program -
