Through the Looking Glass: Examining QM through Different Lenses in the Development of an Online EMBA. Presenters: Dr. Karen Donovan Ms. Cindy Hart & Dr. Elizabeth Vitullo

Overview We will discuss a case study of online program development of the Executive MBA program and implementation of the QM process from inception to review.

Objectives Discuss models or processes that can be utilized at home institution. 2. Identify concerns/considerations for each stakeholder. 3. Describe strategies to create buy-in of the Quality Matters (QM) process from faculty.

University Perspective State of West Virginia adopted QM in 2012. All online courses must meet QM standards by 2016. Critical to develop and implement a process to meet QM standards. Important to leverage university, college and faculty support at all stages of the QM implementation.

Partnerships WVU originally planned to have courses reviewed through QM or the state committee; however due to budget cuts, it was decided in late 2013 that institutional reviews would be conducted. This required that Academic Innovation partner with colleges to train faculty to become peer reviewers and identify internal review teams.

Program Quality Given the importance of institutional reputation and the competitive nature of the distance learning market, it was essential that the EMBA online program meet the same high standards as the face-to-face courses/program.

Program Development iDesign staff dedicated to development of the online EMBA program 3 instructional designers 2 instructional designers Grants Academic Innovation contributed $28,000 in funding for course development of seven courses. Courses had to go through an internal review to be sure courses met QM standards prior to faculty being issued $4,000.

Program Support Faculty and support staff were required to attend training prior to program launch. Navigating the LMS (Blackboard) Understanding the gradebook Incorporate synchronous tools Support didn’t end upon the launch of the program. Academic Innovation and Information Technology Services continue to provide design and technology support as needed.

Program Perspective WVU’s Online Executive MBA Award Winning Faculty

WVU Executive MBA History Program Inception Face-to-face delivery across the state Program structure – 48 credit hours Classes 2 evenings week from 6-9pm Target market – professionals Market realities and opportunities Academic Innovation Grant

Working with the Faculty Change is difficult  Invited select faculty to participate Faculty paired with designer – QM standard Six month lead time for course development Regular check-ins with faculty

Online Best Practices Meeting Started early in the process of transitioning to online Faculty shared accomplishments, frustrations, resources, etc. Presentation by course designers and other experts Once the program was up and running, presentations transitioned to best practices in teaching and other issues related to online learning

Executive MBA Student Profile

QM & the Executive MBA Program Created a framework and set expectations for courses Discussed as part of the recruitment process as a differentiator Inclusion of the QM standards in program details for ranking surveys Provides an iterative process for review of courses

Closing the Loop: Reviewing and Revising Courses WV approved as a member of SARA 2014 HEPC mandates that all online courses and programs at state institutions must meet QM standards by 2016. WVU decides to conduct institutional reviews

Panic sets in…. 70 online courses offered by the College…..

Regrouping to Creating Faculty Buy-In Spring 2014 Wish List Two or more faculty from each discipline Make the process easy Secure funding for an incentive structure Continued cooperation Quality reviews

Phase I: Applying the Rubric Two full-day sessions scheduled at the College One in May and one in July QM trainers conducted the session Bribe them with food  University facilitated interface with QM for Phase II

Phase II – Peer Reviewer Course Goal: have training completed by the start of Fall Semester Compensated after Phase II completed 20 reviewers trained to date!

Process Teams of three created Content matter expert serves as team leader Only courses offered more than 1 time were reviewed University provided organizational support and interface with the QM system Ample time to compete reviews 8 weeks so 2 per semester for each team

Team Effort !! The process is working really well! Communication Feedback Common problems revamped at College level The process is working really well!
