Presentation at Minnesota Brightspace Ignite on April 24, 2015, by Jenessa Gerling, Hennepin Technical College. Quality Does Matter…A Real Show-and-Tell!
Edbrix offers a complete E-Learning platform for students and teachers worldwide at all grade levels from K-12 to Higher Education and beyond. In addition, Edbrix leverages social networking technologies that everyone is familiar with and integrates into the learning environment in a safe and secure fashion. It utilizes the power of Google Apps and Microsoft 365 to deliver solutions with a minimal learning curve in a structured manner.
This is a set of slides used as part of the keynote address for the Summer Institute for Online Teaching that was presented in May, 2006. A group of 25 faculty from the University of Nebraska met on the first day of what would be a six-week course on learning to teach students at a distance.
Administering a customised, printable certificate of completion in Blackboard...Blackboard APAC
While badges and achievements have their place, some training programs often still require participants to have a printed or PDF certificate bearing their name as proof of completing a task. Griffith University developed a tool to fit this need some years ago and it has recently been transformed into a Blackboard Building Block, allowing more sustainable usage and customisation options. This presentation will talk through the history of the project and demonstrate the capabilities of the new Building Block.

Tips and Tricks to Engage with the New Blackboard Collaborate Ultra - Present...Blackboard APAC
There’s nothing new about the connection between student engagement and student learning. Educators have been making it for years. What’s changed is the role that technology plays in the classroom. What’s changed is the emergence of virtual learning, both real-time and self-paced. And what’s changed is the students. They’re digital natives – tech savvy, connected, always on – who’ll turn learning off if it’s not deeply engaging. With our new Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, we make it easier than ever to create a vibrant and engaging learning environment.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.
If you are looking for a pi coin investor. Then look no further because I have the right one he is a pi vendor (he buy and resell to whales in China). I met him on a crypto conference and ever since I and my friends have sold more than 10k pi coins to him And he bought all and still want more. I will drop his telegram handle below just send him a message.

how can i use my minded pi coins I need some funds.DOT TECH
If you are interested in selling your pi coins, i have a verified pi merchant, who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.
Because the core team has announced that pi network will not be doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges like huobi, bitmart and hotbit can get pi is by buying from miners.
Now a merchant stands in between these exchanges and the miners. As a link to make transactions smooth. Because right now in the enclosed mainnet you can't sell pi coins your self. You need the help of a merchant,
i will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant below. 👇 I and my friends has traded more than 3000pi coins with him successfully.

2. MY BACKGROUND
• Instructor of Communication
(12 years)
• Brightspace by D2L Trainer
• Master Reviewer
• Accessibility and Assessment
Coordinator
• CONTACT INFORMATION
JGerling@hennepintech.edu
3. HISTORY
• Started Quality Matters (QM) process back in 2011
• Hennepin Technical College took this on as our main method of course design
evaluation
• Took Applying the QM Rubric (APPQMR), Peer Reviewer and most recently
Master Reviewer courses
• To date have completed 23 reviews (soon to be 26)
• Chaired 1 Review
• Have two courses – Interpersonal Communication (online) and Small Group
Communication (online) both certified through QM
• Beyond QM have recently incorporated MindTap by Cengage into my
Interpersonal Course. First time using “true” third-party integrations.
4. • How many of you believe that quality course design is important to
learner success?
• Does quality design factor into all delivery methods? (i.e. FTF,
Blended/Hybrid and Online)
• What have you heard OR know about Quality Matters (QM)?
• Are you interested in a Formal QM Review?
• Are you interested in seeing third-party integrations in action?
• MOST IMPORTANT – What do you want to see today?
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
5. GOALS FOR TODAY
1. Quality Matters = Basics and background
2. The QM Review Process
3. Third-Party Publisher Integrations
4. Successes and Struggles – WHAT TO PREPARE FOR
5. Show course that is both QM Certified and includes third-party
integrations – specifically MindTap by Cengage.
6. Questions???
6. QUALITY MATTERS
According to Quality Matters (2014), it states,
“Quality Matters is a faculty-centered, peer
review process that is designed to certify the
quality of online and blended courses.”
“Quality Matters is a collegial review process in
which reviewers provide feedback on course
design in two ways, 1) through substantive,
constructive, measureable and specific
recommendations with regard to both course
strengths and areas for improvement, and 2)
by evaluating the extent to which course
design meets Specific Review Standards.”
Quality Matters (QM)
www.qm.program.org
8. QUALITY MATTERS RUBRIC – WHAT IS IT?
• Rubric was most recently revised - 5th Edition is being used
• Rubric itself is for blended/hybrid and fully online courses*
• Consists of 8 General Standards
• General Standards are comprised of 21 Essential Standards (worth 3 points a
piece), 14 Very Important Standards (worth 2 points a piece), and 8
Important Standards (worth 1 point each).
• To be QM Certified - all 21 of the 3-points Essential Standards MUST be met
and the course must meet a score of 85% or 84 out of 99 total points.
• Not all Essential Standards met, have time to revise course to meet
standards based on review suggestions
* I will challenge this to an extent …
9. THE STANDARDS
1) Course Overview and Introduction
2) Learning Objectives (Competencies)
3) Assessment and Measurement
4) Instructional Materials
5) Course Activities and Learner Interaction
6) Course Technology
7) Learner Support
8) Accessibility and Usability
10. MY TAKE ON QUALITY MATTERS
1) FABULOUS Process and experience
2) Take the classes, it is WELL worth
your time and energy (GREAT PD)
3) WHY? To get the most from
course design
4) Really begin to look at all areas of
course design as touching on all
delivery methods. How, you might
ask?
5) Next steps- QM doesn’t have to be
the ONLY method of quality course
design, could be developed on
campus, etc. Possible problems –
no anonymity
6) Improvement is continuous and
ongoing – course isn’t perfect but
has a solid foundation for
accessibility rich and tool-based
integrations.
11. THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS
According to the Brightspace by D2L webpage, it states, “3rd-party
tools with Desire2Learn, including things from simple embeds of
Web-based tools to more sophisticated uses involving Learning
Tools Interoperability (LTI).”
Additionally, “[t]he principal concept of LTI is to establish a
standard way of integrating rich learning applications (often
remotely hosted and provided through third-party services) with
platforms like learning management systems, portals, or other
educational environments.”
http://www.imsglobal.org/toolsinteroperability2.cfm
12. EXAMPLE POSSIBLE THIRD PARTY TOOLS
•Smart Thinking - McGraw Hill Campus
•Atomic Learning
•Pearson MyLab (example = MyCommLab, MyMathLab)
•Cengage MindTap
•Labyrinth eLab
13. CENGAGE – MINDTAP
MindTap is the digital learning solution that helps you transform
students into critical thinkers, turn cookie-cutter into cutting-edge,
apathy into engagement, and memorizers into higher-level thinkers.
- Cengage.com
14. WHAT MAKES MINDTAP APPEALING
& ALIGNMENT WITH QM
• Is a 1:1 integration – what does that mean?
• Able to use text layout as a method of setting up weekly
modules in D2L. Creates alignment between text and course
design (Start, Read, Practice, Do, Reflect). Assists with QM
alignment.
• Instructor has the POWER to decide what part of the text he/she
wants to include and integrate in D2L.
• Does not “kick” learners out of the LMS when they click on the
MindTap links, opens a new tab in browser.
• Students can highlight, take notes, look up definitions, bookmark
pages, utilize ReadSpeaker component and much more!
