USM OnTrack: New Quality Matters Workshops Added!

Sign up now for these August workshops!

USM OnTrack has added additional Quality Matters workshops in high-demand topics for the coming weeks. 

Upcoming Quality Matters Workshops  

USM OnTrack has pre-purchased a pool of online teaching professional development workshops from Quality Matters on beginning to advanced topics, including designing for learner engagement, flipping the online course, setting expectations with students, active learning strategies, accessibility, and online assessment. There is no cost for any USM faculty or staff member to attend these workshops, but each workshop does have a 30-person limit, so we encourage you to promote these as soon as possible. We will be monitoring registrations as will add additional sessions if we see high demand.  

   

Below are the workshop titles for the final two weeks, along with registration information.  NOTE: We have added a number of additional sessions for high-demand topics; please encourage faculty to come back to our web page to see if a session that was previously full is now available.
