QM: Improving Your Online Course

The “Improving Your Online Course” workshop explores the QM Rubric and provides a framework to improve the quality of online courses. Participants use the QM Rubric to review their own online courses and develop a course improvement plan. The content is based on the essential Specific Review Standards of the Quality Matters Rubric. Participants will come away with a plan for course improvement, so enrolling in the workshop with a pre-developed online course is required. This workshop is recommended for Faculty, Teaching Assistants and Instructional Designers with an online course they want to improve. Participants need to have their own courses in Canvas to implement the improvements they will learn about.

This is an online, asynchronous course that runs for a three-week period from February 24 – March 14. It will be facilitated by Dr. Olga Mesropova, Associate Professor, Department of World Languages and Cultures, CELT faculty affiliate, and certified QM Master Reviewer. A minimum commitment of 8 to 10 hours per week is recommended for achieving the learning objectives.

Learning Objectives:

1. Recognize the foundational concepts of Quality Matters.
2. Apply the essential Specific Review Standards of the Quality Matters Rubric to your own online course.
3. Describe the alignment of at least one module/unit in your online course.
4. Prioritize improvements to your online course.

Note:  Registration for this event will close at Noon on February 17th.
