This document introduces Quality Matters (QM), which is a method that CSU uses for continuous course improvement. QM focuses on alignment, requiring elements like assignments and assessments to align with course outcomes. Not all CSU courses have achieved QM status yet as it takes time to review courses. Incorporating QM standards like alignment tables can help. Communication between professors and students is also required by QM. Faculty are encouraged to take workshops on applying the QM rubric and volunteer as peer reviewers to improve their skills and familiarize themselves with QM requirements.

It will also enable trainees to determine if course writing is a good fit and demonstrate their skills through a short writing submission.
CW Reading 2.2 Course vision
CSU's course vision is to provide students with an exceptional educational experience by designing courses from the student perspective. Course writers should consider different learning styles like visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, and include authentic learning experiences. There are four types of course revisions: major revisions rewrite the entire course, minor revisions address changes to some elements, textbook edition updates involve moving to a new textbook edition, and ticket/updates consist of minor changes. Course writers must use appropriate Bloom's Taxonomy verbs for each course level to ensure outcomes align with the course placement in the program.

1) Front-end analysis where the Academic Director reviews feedback and visions for the new course.
2) Planning where the Course Writer and Instructional Designer collaborate on course details.
3) Course writing where instructional components are prepared for each unit.
4) Review where the Academic Director ensures standards are met.

This document compares and contrasts the ADDIE and Dick and Carey instructional design models. The ADDIE model has 5 phases - analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. It is concise and good for training tasks but may not work as well for complex courses. The Dick and Carey model has 10 phases including identifying goals, analyzing skills needed, determining entry behaviors, setting objectives, developing tests, designing instructional strategies and materials, and ongoing evaluations. It is more flexible and suitable for large course content but has more evaluation points. A key difference is that the ADDIE model may be better for task training while Dick and Carey is more appropriate for substantive course content like in schools or universities.

The document suggests that assessment should encourage creativity, skills development, use success criteria and quality feedback to help students progress. Schools should define their own standards for what constitutes an exceptional English student.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

CW Reading 2.1 quality matters
- 2. Introduction This slideshow will introduce you to one of CSU's continuous course improvement methods: Quality Matters (QM). Please use the navigation buttons below, paying special attention to the QM standards, rubric, and peer review process.
- 3. Continuous Improvement In our drive for continuous improvement, CSU has begun subscribing to Quality Matters (QM) and applying QM guidelines to our courses. The major focus of QM is alignment. As a CW, you must be very aware of the alignment in the course as you develop each unit’s content. Various essential elements in the course, such as the unit lesson, readings, assignments, and assessment questions, must align with and support at least one outcome.
- 4. Status Not all CSU courses have achieved QM status yet. Some have, and others are being reviewed, but this process takes time. What can happen now, however, is making sure that we incorporate elements into our courses that meet QM standards. For example, CSU courses now include a Program Alignment Table that shows how everything in the course aligns with the course and unit outcomes and a Unit Alignment Table that shows how every learning activity in a unit is aligned with at least one ULO and/or CLO. Another action we must take to achieve QM quality is to provide at least one ULO to support each CLO addressed and assessed in a unit.
- 5. Focus on Faculty and Student Communication Communication between professors and students is required by QM, and we support this in the following ways: • Unit I Discussion Board question—requires students introduce themselves and interact with their peers. • Ask the Professor—available in every course to encourage communication between student and professor. • Student Break Room—available in every course to encourage communication between students.
- 6. Getting Involved Faculty who wish to become course writers for CSU are encouraged to take the Applying the Quality Matters Rubric (APPQMR) workshop, provided by Quality Matters. If you have not yet taken this workshop, contact your Academic Director (APD or ADD) and express your interest in completing the workshop. This is a professional development opportunity provided by CSU at no cost to participants.
- 7. Getting Involved Quality Matters is a faculty-centered peer review process. Faculty are encouraged to volunteer to serve as QM Subject Matter Expert Course Peer Reviewers. Doing so will help them become better course writers as they become more familiar with QM requirements, as well as see what is being done in courses created at other educational institutions.
