While public perception of AI remains mixed, AI continues to impact education, offering limitless potential to augment course development. Effectively harnessing AI as a creative and collaborative partner in course design requires critical reflection on prompting, correspondence, and tool selection. This interactive discussion focuses on “raging with the machine,” embracing AI in course design, and sharing practical insights for leveraging AI strategically.
This session is a real-time course quality assurance implementation adventure at a high research doctoral institution. The implementation plan has involved one on one consultations, group trainings, a three-day intensive workshop, asynchronous online courses, & Instructional Designers certified in Applying the QM Rubric. This session can be used as an implementation process for new subscribers or institutions ready to relaunch quality course design on their own campuses.
This presentation will describe the process of creation of a revised undergraduate professional degree program using QM standards. The presenters will ask input from participants as to the pathway to attain programmatic QM certification.
The phrase "head in the game" is often used in sports and other performance contexts to encourage someone to be mentally present and fully engaged. In an asynchronous online classroom, faculty who engage both head and heart create meaningful, supportive connections that foster high quality learning. Join us to explore strategies that bring quality, empathy, and deep engagement to the virtual learning experience.
Have you or your team been asked to aid the revision of an online program or a similar project? Through our lessons learned, we plan to showcase a method to manage instructional design projects and improve each for future requests. By the end of the presentation, participants should be able to identify the advantages and challenges of creating a project, outline a project’s tasks, tools and resources and explain the steps of using a project management tool for instructional design projects.
Discover how course alignment can make or break your course design! Join us for an engaging session where we explore the domino effect in course development—how a single misalignment can trigger a chain reaction, causing the entire structure to "collapse."
Join us as we tackle the critical issue of fostering human connections in K-12 online education amid the sea of technology in students’ daily lives.
