However, many people question the quality of online degree programs and courses. To address this issue the California State University has taken the initiative to ensure quality of its online courses throughout the system. Different campuses have been adopting different quality assurance programs. CSU, Chico has adopted the Quality Online Learning and Teaching (QOLT) rubric to aid course design and evaluation. This session will introduce participant to the QOLT rubric and the evaluation process. | Ben Seipel (EDUC) | Colusa Hall 100A |
| 2:45-4:15pm | Bringing Your Colleagues’ Knowledge to Your Classroom: “Virtual” Visiting Professors | In the Fall of 2012 I was given a CELT grant to 1) edit a series of video-taped interviews that I had conducted with Chico State students and professors, 2) analyze the students’ perception of the videos and 3) gauge the students’ responses to the videos. This presentation will demonstrate how these videos were created and what the students thought of them. | Denise Minor (ILLC) | Colusa Hall 100B |
