Do you get confused with General Standard 8? You are not alone! Come learn how to distinguish between the usability and the accessibility aspects. You will be able to apply each Specific Review Standard better and write clear constructive suggestions clearly supported by the Rubric.
Self-study curricular design offers unique opportunities through formative, systematic work using QM Standards during development. The purpose of this session is to propose Scholarship of Teaching and Learning be intentionally integrated into program development.
NC State University's Digital Education and Learning Technology Applications (DELTA) has collaborated with 65 instructors to apply the Quality Matters course design standards to a single online or hybrid course, resulting in QM certification for all submitted courses. To measure the wider impact of participation, we asked faculty to reflect on what they had learned about course design and how they had applied that knowledge in additional courses.
Are you interested in "new" ways to boost learner engagement in your course? Do you wish you could enhance your course activities but aren't sure where to start? Do you want to create a course that is easy to maintain, AND meets QM Standards? Then this session is for you! Come explore ways to "spice up" your course by incorporating web-based activities. OERs, virtual projects and more while keeping in mind the all-important concept of alignment. These "hot tips" will get you on your way to promoting learner interaction in your courses!

We use three models for multi-media in our courses: videos of faculty created while collaborating with a video production specialist, student created videos, and faculty “lectures”. We will discuss these models and the successes and challenges we faced in creating multi-media for our courses.
This session is an interactive game show to introduce attendees to the QM Standards. This fun session will engage participants to apply QA frameworks to create high-quality courses that empower your learners. We will cover all 8 general standards in lightning rounds with reflection points between rounds. Participants will win prizes and learn how the QM Standards can inform the design of effective, high-quality courses.
Assessment is a complex subject and can take many forms. Used appropriately, assessments align with course objectives and ensure those objectives are met. Which types of assessment are most appropriate? And at what time should they be administered? How can low stakes assessments be used to build mastery and confidence? How does peer assessment fit into an overall assessment strategy? How can we measure a student's ability to demonstrate real-world skills? Join us to discuss timing, strategies, techniques, and examples participants can use in their own course design.
This presentation will offer a preview of the K-12 NSQ-Aligned Teaching Online Certificate Series, which transforms the National Standards of Quality for Online Teaching into practical classroom strategies. The series of five self-paced workshops will explore evidence-based approaches that elevate student engagement and achievement in online environments and provide educators with resources to apply the National Standards of Quality into their daily teaching practice.
This session will discuss a cross-departmental initiative supported by state, system, and institutional stakeholders at a four-year institution to implement the Accessible Syllabus Project, lessons learned, and compliance improvement data; and will demonstrate related tools and resources.
Nearly a decade after designing my courses based on Quality Matters (QM) Standards and teaching fully online, the March 2020 pivot to emergency remote instruction was business as usual for my students while I assisted my colleagues with the transition online.
Ever feel like your online learners have not done any actual learning before attempting an assessment? Receive assignments that do not meet the requirements that you are pretty sure you spelled out? Let's strategize ways to guide our learners!
Making learning meaningful through real-world application is a hallmark of academic rigor. However, focusing on the importance of geographic location may neglect online learners, especially those who are remote. This session will provide actionable ideas to implement online teaching and learning strategies that enable students to apply their learning in meaningful ways to their communities, regardless of their physical location.
