Findings: Positives
• Encourages faculty buy-in– Rubric is based on research– Process is ongoing – Criteria is standardized for reviews
• Guides development of new courses– Outlines expectations before review– Provides design ideas– Supports consistency in quality
![Page 15: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Faculty member as team review chair aids in communication– Encourages peer-to-peer discussions– Can provide tried-and-true ideas
![Page 16: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Findings: Positives (con’t)
• Online QM rubric tool saves time– Instructor worksheets in one
accessible area– Rubric includes annotations and
space for additional notes– All final rubrics merged at the end– Course amendment form– History of reviews saved online
![Page 17: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Findings: Positives (con’t)
• After going through development process and internal review, courses are high quality
– Per internal peer reviewers– Per comparison to QM managed
reviews
![Page 18: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Findings: Challenges
• Online QM rubric tool not always utilized by faculty– Separate site location– Separate login than all other
university tools– Faculty often fall back on email
![Page 19: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Findings: Challenges (con’t)
• Not all courses meet standards 1st time – Professors feel frustrated– Repeat course creators don’t
understand why past courses were fine (before QM)
– Professors don’t see that this is an ongoing process (not a pass/fail situation)
![Page 20: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Findings: Challenges (con’t)
• Why courses don’t meet standards– Repeat professors don’t always follow
all steps that match to rubric– Content in “final” course can be
different than originally reviewed content submitted in the development process
– Facilitator of faculty development course and reviewers have differing opinions
![Page 21: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Future Plans
• Reorganization of the development course based on– Needs assessment– QM team brainstorming– Updated research on other school’s
programs
• Review of team communication– Wording in development course– Email wording
![Page 22: North Park Quality Matters Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052507/5584d8b6d8b42ad73a8b48a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Future Plans
• Adding new forms of recognition– Faculty/Staff announcements– Special logo in course in CMS– Others?
