Key components must align.
Alignment: Critical course elements work together to ensure that students achieve the desired learning outcomes.
The focus of QM is on design, collegiality, and continuous improvement
Courses are never “perfect,” and instructors are never “bad” or “wrong”
Meeting a standard means you’ve got it at about the 85% level
For a standard to be met in a formal review like our end-of-semester review, 2 out of 3 reviewers must agree
Points are awarded as all or nothing
Let’s quickly review a course introduction to see if it meets Standard 1.1 and 1.2: 1.1 Instructions make
clear how to get started and where to find various components
1.2 Learners are introduced to the purpose and structure of the course
Did you know what to do in the course? Were there resources to help students get
situated? Did the purpose and structure of the course
make sense? If you were a student, would you feel
comfortable getting into this course and starting to work?
Review the course-level objective and the assessment description
Do these meet Standards: 2.1 The course learning
objectives describe outcomes are that measurable
3.1 The assessments measure the stated learning objectives
4.1 The instructional materials contribute to the achievement of the stated course objectives
Objective: For this unit, describe in your own words at least three events or situations that led up to the American Revolution.
Assessment: Take a 50-point multiple choice tests on facts pertaining to the American Revolution
Materials: Review your textbook in Chapters 5-7 on the Revolution and the creation of the Consitution
Was the objective measurable? Did the assessment seem to match up with
the stated objective? Did the learning materials noted seem to
align with the objective and the assessment? How could the alignment be improved or
changed?
