Quality Matters is a nationally recognized, faculty-centered, peer review process designed to certify the quality of online and blended courses with the goal of promoting student learning. Quality Matters tools can help you through every stage of the course planning, design, delivery, and evaluation process so that you can spend more time discussing content with your students, rather than fielding questions about administrative tasks or the course structure. Join this session, led by Anna Michelle Martinez-Montavon to learn more about the funded opportunities at IUSB to learn more about online and hybrid course design, get recognition for your high-quality course design, and support your peers in improving their courses. (Part-Time faculty earn 1 FDU of Learn & Earn).

If you will be submitting a dossier for promotion to Senior Lecturer, Teaching Professor, Associate Professor, Full Professor, Clinical Senior Lecturer, or Clinical Associate Professor in August 2023, you are invited to join a sponsored group that can help you put together a dossier that presents your case in the best light possible. If you are interested in participating or have questions, please contact David Blouin, UCET Career Mentor, dblouin@iusb.edu.

This fall, we will meet in NS 245 at the following times:

1)      Friday, October 28, 3:00-4:00 Promotion to Teaching Professor, Full Professor

2)      Friday, November 11, 3:00-4:00 All promotion cases

How would you like to punch up ANY video on Kaltura or YouTube with engaging interactions referencing your content? Provide on-the-spot robust questioning, asynchronous student discussions or student note taking that you, the instructor, can review. PlayPosit is your solution. It provides ways for instructors to overlay questions and other interactions at any point on the video timeline. You can gauge student engagement and retention and see if they are really watching the video. Come to the next PlayPosit workshop to see a demonstration and try your hand at creating a PlayPosit interaction video. Bring a laptop if you want to create one during the workshop. Please register at UCET@iusb.edu.
