Quality Matters - Applying the QM Rubric
Friday, December 6, 2013 | Campus Center 310 | 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Register» | Organizer and Presenter: Lauren Easterling
Indiana University has subscribed to Quality Matters (QM) as a tool and process for the design, development, and ongoing review of online courses, especially those that are part of the IU Online initiative. The Applying the QM Workshop is QM's flagship workshop on the QM Rubric and the process of using the QM Rubric to review online courses. It is intended for a broad audience, including but not limited to faculty, instructional designers, administrators, and adjunct instructors who wish to understand more about the QM Rubric and process of course review.
This workshop will introduce faculty and staff to the QM Rubric and Process, sharing best practices for online course design. The QM Rubric is a research-based set of standards that can be used during the course design process. The QM Process is a peer review process that eventually will review many IU Online courses, with the goal of achieving QM Recognition for mature online courses in the near future. Also, the APPQMR is the pre-requisite for the Peer Reviewer Course, which is the required course to become a QM Peer Reviewer.
Participants will have one hour for lunch, and are free to bring their own lunch or take advantage of the many options in the Campus Center or across the street at the Tower Dining Hall. To receive the QM certificate of completion for this workshop, participants must be present for and participate in the entire workshop.

Digital Storytelling: A Hands-On Design and Application Workshop
Wednesday, December 11, 2013 | UL 1125M | 10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Register» | Organizer and Presenter: Lauren Easterling
This session is designed for those interested in implementing digital stories in their program or course and want to learn effective strategies for creating and assessing digital stories in a hand’s-on setting. Participants will create their own digital story, and identify resources to help their students create them on their own. You will learn about what makes for a great digital story, free resources available, information about copyright and intellectual property, digital literacy information for your students, and develop a tool you can use to assess student products.
Part of the digital storytelling process is the creation of a script. While we will have a prepared script that you can use, we would encourage those of you that want to show your script to your students to prepare a draft of a script related to your assignment prior to the start of the session. Please choose a single topic, and type/write out a script that is no longer than 2-3 minutes in length when read aloud (approximately a half page single-spaced).
For this session, we can provide a PC laptop, and encourage you to use a PC. We will be using Microsoft Photo Story 3 and recommend you download (free) it ahead of time if you are bringing your own device. If you are a Mac user, you are still welcome to bring your own device. It is recommended that Mac users use iMovie. Be aware that the tools and process will vary between these two systems.
Watch the recording of the November 12 webinar Digital Storytelling: An Introduction to the Pedagogy. (Register for the event and a link to the recording will be mailed to you).
