  2. Donald Steinwachs, PhD Professor & Chair, Health Policy Management Director of HSRDC, Director of CSMI Professor, Mental Hygiene, School of Public Health Professor, Psychiatry, School of Medicine Professor, Medicine, SOM

  3. Making the Transition to Online Course Development: Guidelines for Quality Control Kathy Gresh Susan Mrozowski Johns Hopkins School of Public Health ALN 2000: Building Sustainable Online Learning Environments

  4. Presentation Objectives • Create a framework for the transition of a traditional course to an online learning format • Specify quality standards • Support faculty during course development and delivery

  5. What is quality? How is it measured?

  6. Jonathan Links, PhD Associate Professor, Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health Joint Appointment, Radiology, School of Medicine

  7. Quality defined “For most people, quality is like beauty: it has a positive connotation but denotes nothing measurable. ...For quality to be managed, it must be defined in terms of specific measurable attributes.”* *Kritchevsky & Simmons, 1991, p. 1817.

  8. How can an emphasis on quality drive the design and development process?

  9. An emphasis on quality means: • No compromise between online and on-site course • “Good teaching is good teaching” • Consistent design and functionality • Quality services for community of learners

  10. Our Framework: Quality Distance Education (QDE)* • University of Wisconsin, Madison *University of Wisconsin-Extension, Dr. Terry Gibson http://bluto.uwex.edu:80/disted/qde/home.html

  11. QDE #1: Knowing the learners • Demographics • On-campus orientation • Internet Skills course

  12. Marie Diener-West, PhD Associate Professor, Biostatistics, School of Public Health Joint Appointment, Opthamology, School of Medicine

  13. QDE #2: Creating Confident and Committed Faculty • Reliance on course development materials • Opportunities for discussion and analysis • Availability of funding • Provision of instructional design support from design through delivery and revision

  14. Jonathan Links, PhD Associate Professor, Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health Joint Appointment, Radiology, School of Medicine

  15. QDE #3: Designing for Active & Effective Learning • Interactive online activities • Group assignments • Online discussion, synchronously and asynchronously • JHLiveTalk / Bulletin Board • Visual representation of concepts • Animation and videos Continued

  16. Sample from a course, Refugee Health Care, in its online version

  17. QDE #7: Evaluating for Continuous Improvement • Surveys • Comparison data • Wrap-up sessions • Increases in enrollment • Continued faculty and institutional support • Course revisions

  18. What evidence proves that the transition from traditional to online course delivery has been successful?

  19. Quantitative Methods Data

  20. Review: QDE Factors • Knowing the learners • Creating confident and committed faculty • Designing for active and effective learning • Evaluating for continuous improvement

  21. Challenges • Content • Faculty buy-in • Time management • Lecture vs. problem-based, interactive instruction

  22. Goals • Establishing stronger working relationship with faculty • Faculty development • Exchange of ideas • Using tech tools to enhance learning • Moving toward constructivist-based online learning environments

  23. Questions & Comments
