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 come away with a plan for course improvement, so enrolling in the workshop with a pre-developed online course is required.
The “Connecting Learning Objectives and Assessments” workshop reviews course- and module-level learning objectives while using alignment to ensure that assessments are varied and support the achievement of the learning objectives. Participants apply these concepts to developing and/or reviewing their own course objectives and assessments. The content is based on General Standards 2 and 3 of the Quality Matters Rubric. This workshop may help you meet the Specific Review Standards in General Standards 2 and 3.
