SUMMARY:Quality Matters: Manage Course Review Process (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alise Hagan\, Senior Instructional Designer\, and Andrea Leonard\, Senior Instructional Designer\, from University of Louisiana Lafayette \n\n\n\nUL Lafayette has conducted nearly 50 QM Subscriber-Managed course reviews: seven between 2019-2022 and 42 between 2022-2024. The increase in successful reviews was the result of a novel course review cohort model. This presentation will discuss (1) incorporating a cohort model in support of the established QM Subscriber-Managed review; (2) quantitative results reflecting the actual and perceived benefits to courses and faculty; and (3) lessons learned from implementing a cohort-review model. \n\n\n\nRegister for this Event \n\n\n\nSpecial Note:  SSC is a member of Quality Matters\, so this webinar is free to instructors and staff.  If prompted to create an account\, use your SSC email.
