Sessions will be on Monday, November 4 and Wednesday, November 6 from 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. | UL 1130 (University Library) Register » Organizer: Douglas Jerolimov and Presenters: Douglas Jerolimov and Jeani Young
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.

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.
