The GIFT of Signature Work

The September 25, 2015 Center for Faculty Enrichment program was a GIFT session (Great Ideas For Teaching) focused on the theme of fostering Signature Work (SW). As defined by the AAC&U, Signature Work represents a culminating production by students that reflects each student\u27s personal interests, builds on a student\u27s unique experiences, integrates multiple components of a student\u27s educational journey, and projects toward each student\u27s personal goals. Presenters will share teaching strategies that can help prepare novice students to produce a future piece of SW or that can help experienced students identify a meaningful SW project and integrate prior learning into the project. Presenters include Anne Earel & Connie Ghinazzi (library support for SW), Mike Egan (service-learning and SW), Stephanie Fuhr (senior inquiry and SW), and Shara Stough (course projects and SW)

What is Quality Matters?

Quality Matters is national standard to assess the quality of online courses. To achieve your goals for delivering quality online learning, you need everyone to agree on what the expectations are. You need trustworthy standards that foster objective feedback on course design. QM Rubrics and Standards were created to help course developers, teachers, faculty, entire organizations, and — most importantly — students. The General Standards and Specific Review Standards in each Rubric are intended to guide you through the development, evaluation, and improvement of your online and blended courses.
