Our second annual QM Cohort is making great progress, having recently completed the Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) workshop. The workshop provided participants with a strong understanding of the QM Rubric and review process, and inspired updates to their own course design. While the workshop is intensive and challenging, participants shared that they appreciated the detailed feedback provided by our facilitators.
“I learned how much better a course can be when the instructor carefully considers the assessments and how they align with the CLO/MLOs [course learning objectives/module learning objectives].”
“I learned about how to inspect the accessibility of my LMS pages, and how to use the hierarchy of the headings to make my course more accessible to all kinds of learners.”
“I am pleasantly surprised by the expectation that reviewers are asked to be specific, thoughtful, and balanced in their reviews.”
“I gained a better appreciation for why it is important to be explicit in showing the connection between learning objectives and learning activities.”
“I realized that changing a course for the better is certainly feasible and can happen over a series of ‘manageable’ and ‘traceable’ steps.”
“I learned so many things that I want to implement… When I looked at the sample course, I also saw many nice features in Canvas that I don’t use, so I think I’d like to become even more familiar with some of the Canvas features that I don’t use every day.”
All QM Cohort participants are submitting their courses for an internal QM review. Their courses will be reviewed by our team of Certified Peer Reviewers who are also current instructors. We are excited to dig in, particularly as the Cohort represents a variety of departments at Clemson.
