2015 Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference

This session summarizes cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and interpersonal domains of learning, identifies the components of a learning objective, presents examples of courses with hidden "inner" learning objectives implied by course components, and provides practice in identifying and articulating these inner learning objectives.

This session provides participants with tools to review their own objectives from the course level through to the activity level. Whether you are building up or building down, the components and process to create measureable objectives remain the same.

Brief catalog description: This innovative Web-based teaching approach uses online simulation to enhance student learning—linking learning experiences from the real situations to the online classroom while actively engaging students in problem solving. This strategy provides opportunities for interaction that support active learning. Faculty members, in turn, are able to conduct authentic assessment of students’ mastery of the stated learning objectives.

This innovative Web-based teaching approach uses online simulation to enhance student learning—linking learning experiences from the real situations to the online classroom while actively engaging students in problem solving.  This strategy provides opportunities for interaction that support active learning. Faculty members, in turn, are able to conduct authentic assessment of students’ mastery of the stated learning objectives. 

This session will provide an exemplar for those interested in faculty mentoring of novice online educators using QM as the guiding framework.  The QM Higher Education Rubric was used by a seasoned online educator to assist in the development and training of new full-time, tenure-track and adjunct faculty members in the online course development process.  Co-authors include the mentor and one of the mentees in this process, in order to provide ample discussion from both perspectives during the round table session.  This session is particularly appropriate for those who are fac

In this session, a case study of online program development and implementation of the QM process from inception to review is presented.  The importance of leveraging university, college and faculty support at all stages of development, delivery and review are specifically addressed.  Best practices as well as hurdles encountered are discussed. Through the collaboration of all groups, a nationally ranked program (Top 25 Online EMBA programs by US News and World Report) was developed, delivered and maintained using the QM framework.

What does it take to plan and implement a Quality Matters' internal review process? This session will look at the process that the Office of Distance Education at

Cincinnati State employed to put into place a process that is beneficial to faculty and students.
