This workshop introduces faculty and staff to the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric and to the QM Process. Quality Matters is a nationally recognized quality assurance organization for online course design, and the QM Process is a faculty-led peer review process that uses the research-based standards (criteria) of the QM Rubric to certify online courses. Eventually, many online courses within the IU system will undergo the QM Process with the goal of achieving national QM recognition. Faculty may also use the QM Rubric as a guide to design online courses. And, for faculty who are interested, this course serves as a pre-requisite for QM's Peer Reviewer Course, which is a required course for faculty who seek certification as a QM Peer Reviewer, allowing them to participate in QM course reviews for courses created here at IU and at other universities.
The workshop is offered at IUPUI as a one-day synchronous Zoom workshop from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.with a one hour break for lunch. To receive the QM certificate of completion for this workshop, participants must be present for and participate in the entire workshop.

Are you curious about how VR may be used for meaningful learning experiences? IU East’s Senior Lecturer Tim Scales will share how he teaches with and about virtual reality (VR) in his business courses. Tim will also discuss students’ perceptions and feedback on their experiences with VR in these courses. Following Tim’s interactive presentation, Chauncey Frend from IU’s Advanced Visualization Lab will demonstrate the use of two VR apps, Google Poly and TiltBrush using an HTC Vive. This teaching capability is also available on the new Oculus Quest. In this webinar, you’ll learn how selected VR tools may be utilized for teaching and learning.
Jointly planned and sponsored by the teaching and learning centers across all Indiana University campuses, the Teaching with Technology Faculty Showcase webinar series is designed to inform and inspire. Each session features IU faculty who are using technology to increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes. During the first 20-30 minutes of these one-hour sessions, the presenter(s) will describe and illustrate how they use specific technologies to achieve instructional goals. The remaining time will be used for more in-depth exploration of the featured technologies. Instructors of all ranks from all IU campuses are welcome to participate in these webinars.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Technology (IT).

As IUPUI continues the process of reviewing general education courses, course coordinators or faculty responsible for preparing course dossiers for review may have questions about the information and materials that need to go into the dossiers. This workshop will provide an overview of the course review process, course dossier requirements, and the rubric that will be used to review the course dossiers. It will also introduce a new option for preparing a simplified course dossier based on using a Mile Marker assignment. Examples from existing course dossiers will be incorporated into the workshop. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
This workshop will be repeated on Thursday, November 21, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Register.

Universal design is about creating content, materials, and spaces so that everyone can use them. Universal design for learning (UDL) applies universal design principles to maximize the number of students who can access and understand course content. UDL doesn't just apply to students with impairments or learning disabilities. When you design your courses and materials with UDL in mind, all of your students have equal opportunities for success. Join this webinar to learn more about UDL and how you can apply UDL principles to help your students on their path to academic success.
