The Office of Online Learning and the College-Wide Professional Development Committee invite faculty members and other interested employees to attend “SPARK” Lunch-&-Learn events, where you can investigate new resources and build new skills.

On Friday, March 22, a virtual “Spark” session on Quality Course Design takes place from noon to 2 p.m.

This session is an interactive exploration of Quality Matters (QM) standards, intended to help you create an action plan for elevating your online course design.
Using Quality Matters standards to review your course design leads to smoother course navigation and improvements in other course elements that contribute to student success.
