Sometimes it takes a village. In this interactive session, participants will start with developing the dream Course Team. Participants will then have to develop strategies to launch and reinforce quality assurance. Finally, participants will sample course data at-scale and identify potential points for investigation and course redesign.

The CHLOE Report offers insights from Chief Online Learning Officers at U.S. higher ed institutions on technology integration, online staffing, faculty development, and online student support. This session will provide strategies for making the data actionable by using CHLOE as a catalyst for deeper conversations around institution goals, planning, and strategy for quality online learning -- especially with senior leaders -- whether you're an administrator, faculty, or online staff. 

This interactive session will share what instructors at NMSU-A have incorporated into their online classrooms to further engage students in active learning. Incorporating QM Standards has lead to more creative, interactive classrooms that encourage student participation in their own learning. We will provide attendees the opportunity to share what has worked and what has not worked in their own classrooms. This comprehensive list will be shared with any interested participant via email.

The transition from a traditional faculty role in higher education to a dynamic career in e-Learning. Drawing from personal experiences and lessons learned, the presentation aims to provide valuable tips, strategies, and practical guidance for faculty members and educators looking to pivot into a career in the e-Learning space. By sharing these insights, the presenter will empower attendees who are thinking about or have transitioned into a career in e-Learning in higher education. 

This presentation describes the quality assurance (QA) efforts at Sacramento State to establish systematic support of faculty in designing and delivering high quality online and hybrid courses and developing infrastructures to sustain and institutionalize support. Using a logic model and training data, the QA team determined critical inputs and outputs to achieve their goals. A 3-tiered approach was implemented to meet the needs of novice, moderately-experienced, and highly-experienced faculty.

In this session, participants will discover and discuss the development of a large-scale, programmatic quality assurance plan utilizing master courses across disciplines at a mid-sized community college for an accelerated Associate's Degree program using 5-week courses.

Looking at how game design can lend strategies and concepts to educational instructional design.

We will review our research and findings on the myriad perceptions of who should lead varying course design tasks. We will then discuss an evidence-based approach to negotiate who should lead these tasks when working within an interprofessional course design team.

A unique course design evaluation instrument has been developed for students to provide their perspective on the design of an online course.  Students are asked how easy or challenging it is to find information within a course and are asked how they think the course design could be improved.

Interested in "new" ways to boost learner engagement and success in your course?   Have you heard about Open Educational Resources but wish to know more?  Then this session is for you!   Come explore the what, the why, and the how of OER.  You will leave the session with a plan and a list of OER resources.

In an era where generative AI is advancing rapidly, the real challenge is not just to admire these technologies but to integrate them effectively into our workflows. This workshop offers a practical look at how we're embracing AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft CoPilot for course authoring and development at MTDA. We'll share insights on our initial strategies, ethical considerations, and the journey toward effective AI integration.  Join Jason for an engaging discussion on leveraging AI to enrich content and course development… a work in progress!

High Impact Practices (HIPs) have been getting a lot of attention recently. And why not? With data linking them to increased retention, persistence, and course satisfaction (Kuh, 2008) HIPs seem like a guaranteed ticket to academic success! However, rallying behind one or more HIP can seem like a daunting task when it comes to online education.
