This session will highlight the 12-Step Checklistsdeveloped by the Online Course Improvement Program (OCIP) at New Mexico State University (NMSU). The checklists translate the QM standards into actionable steps, which help faculty “see” how a standard looks in an online course. Faculty also use the checklists when developing or revising an online course as a quality assurance measure.
The perception of Quality Matters at an institution can be instrumental in how quickly it is adapted. This presentation discusses how one institution integrated Quality Matters into all aspects of faculty mentoring, course design, and professional programming. During this presentation, we will discuss our mentoring philosophy, an Online Course Design Matrix that links course goals and objectives directly to assessment, and the integration of Quality Matters into our professional programming.
Because Quality Matters is a program which has received national recognition for its peer based approach to continuous improvement in online course design, lead support staff/faculty from each NMSU campus collaborate to exchange QM implementation ideas, communicate successes, and create connections. In this presentation, each campus will describe their own implementation plan, process, and experiences. Join Sharon, Sherrell, Nicole, and Krista to find out what’s happening at each of the NMSU campuses regarding QM implementation.
If you would like to see creative ways to implement the Quality Matters Rubric within your online learning environment, this is the presentation for you! We will explain and demonstrate how we applied the QM Standards within our QM Certified courses using SoftChalk, Doodle Schedulers, Google Drive, small group collaborations, Screen-Cast-O-Matic, YouTube, and more. We have used these tools within our Math, Education, and English courses to improve student learning and engagement.
Join us to hear about how the ASU RN-BSN faculty used the QM rubric as a framework to implement a complete curriculum change in about six months and changed the college's culture in the process.
