Operational-Quality-Assurance-Guiler-2017.pptxvictoriakankutebe

This document discusses the importance of quality assurance in organizational decision making. It defines quality as meeting or exceeding standards as measured against similar programs or services. The presenter argues that every department should have a process to ensure decisions align with the organization's mission and values, and that data should drive all decisions. Quality assurance teams in instruction, course design, and IT help guarantee decisions meet standards and collect needed data on student experiences. The key is using an organization's mission to define quality, gathering metrics to measure it in each area, and making evidence-based choices that prioritize students based on those metrics. Leaders are advised to pilot impactful decisions and collect resulting data rather than gambling without information.

The presentation emphasizes starting small with testing before expanding personalization efforts.

Marketing Matters: A Realistic ApproachKristy Black

Morning Keynote presentation at the annual Wisconsin Learning Assistance Network (WLAN) Conference, 2013. As professionals working in higher education learning centers, we don't always think about our departments and services as being part of an overall identity. Through strategic marketing and communication in-person, print, and online, learning centers can create a consistent image for their centers while increasing student traffic and awareness. This presentation provides five steps to implementing a marketing plan on your campus, a discussion of the benefits, and a case study of the Carroll University Learning Commons.

The 5 Vectors of Design LeadershipJim Carlsen-Landy

Being a Design leader requires some mental gymnastics. You juggle projects, guide people, advocate for design, and improve processes. It’s big picture one minute and tiny details the next. Your leadership toolbelt runneth over from articles, books, training, and workshops. And all day every day you have to decide where to focus all that brainpower. This presentation introduces a simple model for evaluating situations along five vectors, and applying the leadership tools and levers that best fit that context. Every design leader has their own style and their own path. This approach won’t change yours, but it will help you conserve decision-making energy and keep your sanity while achieving the great outcomes you need.

Standards Based Grading - MSTA Change Agent ConferenceEric Langhorst

The document discusses the journey of a teacher, Eric Langhorst, in moving from a traditional grading system to a standards-based grading system. Previously, Eric assessed students through multiple choice tests and assigned zeros for late work. He realized this approach did not truly reflect student learning.

Eric plans to implement this for his 8th grade social studies classes by aligning units to standards and developing formative assessments to provide feedback and opportunities to demonstrate mastery.

YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 4-30-2025.pptxYale School of Public Health - The Virtual Medical Operations Center (VMOC)

A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 795 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 95 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003. The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include: - Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources. - Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use. - Collaboration: The “unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly. The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner.

The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.

Editor's Notes

#23: Our experiences shape our perceptions. This is a photo of my family taken on our campus, almost several years ago. My amazing wife nearly 19 years and our two daughters, now ages 10 and 8. Each of us in this room here today has our own family, our own story, and experiences in the field of online education that have shaped our perceptions of online education quality.
#44: (TOPKit, topcast podcast, ID networks, mention UPCEA & QM’s ID groups)
