Is it time to examine your quality rubric, or do you want to build one of your own? OLC has reviewed several open-access rubrics and determined key course design characteristics. In this webinar, we’ll share exemplary quality indicators from several of the rubrics. Then, we’ll unveil an instrument for evaluating or building your own rubric, along with specific use cases. Finally, you’ll determine next steps for developing, revising, or implementing a quality assurance process based on your role. 

Intended Audience: 

Any educator or course designer/ developer who would like to review online, blended, or digitally-enhanced courses, and any administrator charged with developing quality assurance practices LEARN MORE >

In this webinar, Dr. Teshell Ponteen Greene from HHMI Biointeractive and Dr. Matthew Hall of Curio Group will showcase HHMI BioInteractive’s Inclusive Teaching Course, a freely available, asynchronous course for those in service of student success. Using Brian Dewsbury’s Deep Teaching Model (2019) and the work of Kayon Murray-Johnson and other scholars featured, the course aims to deepen the practitioner’s knowledge and implementation of inclusive pedagogy in every course and support the varying needs of learners.

Learners in North America come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Educators must be ready to meet the needs of their student body, regardless of their institution type (small, large, research-focused, teaching-focused, etc.). Incorporating inclusive teaching practices and techniques into their courses helps all learners.

Although it was originally designed as a professional development course for life science educators and administrators, the Inclusive Teaching Course can benefit instructors across all disciplines in higher education. Given HHMI BioInteractive’s commitment to creating Open Educational Resources, Inclusive Teaching is freely available through open access courses on Canvas Commons, through the HHMI BioInteractive site, and deployable in multiple LMS formats. 

In this presentation, Teshell and Matthew will also discuss the origins of the relationship between Curio Group and HHMI BioInteractive. They will discuss their co-design practice and utilization of  The Learning Journal to guide learners through their unique, personal, contextual journey toward pedagogical transformation. This course is designed to be put into action, and the Inclusive Teaching Action Plan is a learning experience designed to drive learners to greater equity-minded practices and foster continuous learning in all education spaces.
