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.
