FREE Webinar For QM Members June 19: “Beyond Online: Using The QM Rubric For Face-To-Face Course Design”

Note this webinar that is coming up next week.

QM Success Stories Beyond Online: Using the QM Rubric for Face-to-Face Course Design Wednesday, June 19 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern

The QM Rubric was designed to help you evaluate your online and blended courses — and provide next steps for how to improve course design. But did you know you can also use it to improve the courses you teach face-to-face? By using QM Standards, face-to-face courses can have more meaningful alignment, more detailed evaluative criteria, better instructions for completing course work, and more focused class time. In this free webinar, you’ll learn how two instructors from New Mexico State University Alamogordo (NMSU) successfully used their QM training and the QM Rubric to improve their face-to-face classroom environments and teaching effectiveness. Presented by:

Kathy Roark-Diehl is a professor of English and has been teaching for NMSU in various capacities for 28 years. Her teaching emphasis is composition, interpretation, and women’s literature. She has been teaching online for about six years, and though she prefers teaching face-to-face, believes that the transition to online instruction has improved her teaching in all mediums. Rob Klinger is an associate professor of astronomy at NMSU with 15 years of experience in designing and delivering online courses. He currently serves on the Online Quality Assurance Team as a Quality Matters certified Master Reviewer. Rob has served as the team lead for several dozen reviews and has designed six courses that have met the QM Standards in external reviews.
