5. Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR)QM's flagship workshop on the QM Rubric and the process of using the QM Rubric to review online/hybrid courses. It is intended for a broad audience, including faculty, instructional designers, administrators, and adjunct instructors who wish to understand more about quality considerations in online and hybrid/blended course design. Participants taking the fully online version of this workshop should expect to spend at least 15-20 hours on activities during the two week duration. Participants taking the face-to-face training will spend 7.5 hours in the training session.
6. Teaching Online: An Introduction to Online Delivery (TOL)This fully online workshop explores the basic components of online course delivery. Participants will be introduced to differences between traditional face-to-face learning and online learning, the instructor’s role in the online classroom, the importance of getting (and keeping) students engaged, and methods of facilitating online discussions using the discussion board. Instructors, administrators, instructional designers, and peer reviewers may all find the workshop of interest. Participants should expect to spend at least 8-10 hours per week to successfully complete this two week fully online workshop.
7. Designing Your Blended Course (DYBC)This fully online workshop explores the eight General Standards in the QM Rubric and provides a framework to build a blended (or hybrid) course. While QM recognizes that each institution will define "blended" in its own way, this framework will work with any combination of face-to-face and online elements. Participants use the QM Rubric to review key blended elements and develop a course development plan. Participants can expect to spend about 8-10 hours per week to successfully complete this two week fully online workshop. Note: Participants will be working on a portion of an existing course throughout the session that will be redesigned into a blended course component.
8. Designing Your Online Course (DYOC)This fully online workshop includes an overview of the QM Rubric and provides a framework for participants to design an online course plan. An integral element of the workshop is exploration of the eight General Standards of the QM Rubric, focusing on learning objectives and overall course alignment. Participants will complete a Module Planning Worksheet to design one module of an online course. The worksheet includes course and module learning objectives, assessments that align with the learning objectives, instructional materials that support the learning objectives and activities, and tools and media that enhance student interaction with classmates, content, and the instructor. Participants can expect to spend about 8-10 hours per week to successfully complete this two week fully online workshop. Note: Participants will be working on a portion of an existing course throughout the session that will be redesigned into an online course component.

If selected for a Quality Matters Professional Development Grant, I will register and attend the workshop I selected above. I will complete all requirements of the workshop within the two week training session. Following completion of the workshop, and no later than 10 days after the workshop ends, I will provide evidence that I have incorporated what I have learned in the form of: a self-evaluation using the QM Rubric; a reflection on the instructional design changes I have made as a result of the training; and/or evidence of the alignment of instructional design with my course learning outcomes.
