WORKSHOP:
APPLYING THE QUALITY MATTERS RUBRIC
Evangeline 'Litsa' Varonis, who
facilitates the workshop
This workshop explores the Quality
Matters (QM) Project and Processes and prepares you to be part
of an initiative that positively impacts the design of
online/blended courses and ultimately, learning and success for
the learner. QM is designed to improve the quality of
online/blended courses by establishing a peer-reviewed quality
assurance review process. You will become familiar with QM
standards and participate in a practice peer course review of an
online course using the review tools. After successfully
completing this workshop, you will be eligible to move into the
online "Peer Reviewer Certification" and gain ideas to improve
your own courses using QM Standards.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
1. Identify the underlying principles of QM.
2. Identify the critical elements of the QM quality assurance
program, including the QM Rubric, materials, processes, and
administrative components.
3. Apply the Fifth Edition QM Rubric to review online courses.
4. Decide if an authentic demo course meets selected QM Rubric
Standards.
5. Apply the concept of alignment.
6. Draft helpful recommendations for course improvement by
citing Annotations from the QM Rubric and evidence from the
course.
Seats Available: 30
This session is intended for a broad audience, including but not
limited to faculty, instructional designers, and administrators
who wish to understand more about the QM Rubric and process of
course review. In fact many people take the workshop without the
intent of becoming a peer reviewer. They do so to learn more
about quality online course design, or to participate in
informal course reviews at their own institution. Some
institutions require participation before instructors can be
compensated for designing or converting an existing course for
online delivery or before instructors put their own courses up
for QM review.
The QM program is being implemented internationally.
As you will be working in groups to view and review an actual
online course during the workshop, please bring a laptop or iPad
if you have one available to you. Other materials will be
provided.
This workshop normally has a fee of c.
$350. Since QM is a sponsor of ICICTE 2015, delegates who
participate in the workshop held during the conference do so at
no cost.
In order to receive certification,
participants need to attend as per the following agenda.
