Initiative Title
Quality Matters Facilitators for Faculty Course Review
Initiative Details
In response to the ongoing pandemic and the shift of a large number of classes to online, instructional designers within MSU IT Services created professional development training and a peer-review process to provide feedback and assistance to instructors as they create their courses. Librarians have volunteered to serve as facilitators and lead groups of instructors through a modified version of the Quality Matters process to review their courses. Following a two-week Quality Matters training, facilitators provide guidance to faculty on how to perform course reviews, answer questions on the rubric used in the review process, review the completed rubrics, and assist faculty in developing a remediation plan for their course. Over 450 instructors have signed up for the review process, and facilitators work with a new group of approximately 5-6 instructors every two weeks. Through this process, librarians are adding to their instructional design expertise and are partnering with instructors across campus to improve course design, reducing barriers for students and leading to better academic outcomes.
