These faculty provided valuable feedback to the Academic Partnerships (AP) team, which resulted in a second iteration of the toolkit. Based on their feedback, AP: Began adding more about the purpose of the toolkit. Included more information about regulatory requirements. Simplified several template pages to make editing easier. Clarified technical language. Modified the workflow based on common faculty tasks (e.g., combining multiple course sections) Following the faculty review, University leadership conducted an internal review of the second draft of the toolkit. This review resulted in the AP team clarifying the pathways for faculty by breaking the toolkit into separate documents. Next the third version of the toolkit was reviewed by the Provost and the Provost Advisory Council (PAC). <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.butler.edu/academic-technology/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9266-2-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2350 size-full" srcset="https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9266-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9266-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9266-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9266-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9266-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="100vw" /> <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.butler.edu/academic-technology/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9280-2-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2352 size-full" srcset="https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9280-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9280-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9280-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9280-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2024/03/IMG_9280-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="100vw" /> The PAC review resulted in this web-based version of the toolkit with the following changes: An introductory page that explains the “why” behind the toolkit, including more information about regulatory requirements. How the template aligns to Butler’s Course Design Rubric. More detail about the phases of this initiative. A feedback survey to collect suggested improvements. The Academic Partnerships team is worked with a second group of faculty to gather feedback on the third version of the toolkit during the week of March 22. In September 2024, after the Provost announced the Quality Matters adoption at Faculty Sentate, the Academic Partnerships team began revisions to the toolkit to align resources to the QM Essential Standards. Once revisions are complete, the AP team will convene faculty for further feedback and refinement. Faculty who are using the current version of this toolkit can submit feedback using the form linked below. Thank you to the faculty who helped develop this toolkit: S.

for Summer

General Standard 2 has five essential standards relating to learning outcomes. (Notice that our Butler terminology is “learning outcome,” for example, in Curriculog, whereas QM’s terminology is “learning objective.”) Use the resources below to guide your learning outcome creation.

The content below is from the Summer ’24 Toolkit—you may still find these resources helpful since the Canvas course template and Butler syllabus template align to QM standards. If you choose to use these resources, you will be on your way to meet the other QM standards. In the coming weeks and months, you’ll likely see additional resources added here and modifications to the resources below.

If I participate in Summer 2024, will I need to redo my work next year? <img alt="" id='block_acf-block-66f1ba047cf8b-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https://www.butler.edu/oeet/wp-content/plugins/butler-acf-blocks-new/assets/images/nav_main_icon_open.png' /> While faculty are welcome to use the full Canvas course template, it can feel a bit overwhelming when implementing it all at once. Therefore, to get us started on a pathway of inclusion, accessibility, and compliance, we’ve developed an adapted version for summer 2024, which should take about half a days’ work to implement. The future phases will build upon the Summer 2024 template, meaning that future phases will scale up this template with additive materials and tasks. The future phases will focus on the Course Design Rubric indicators that were not covered in this first phase. If you are wondering if you should start now or wait until next summer, our advice is to start now. Even these small course changes for Summer 2024 can significantly enhance your course community, reduce cognitive load for learners, improve course organization and navigation, and increase your presence as an instructor. These adjustments are not about suggesting that current practices are inadequate, but rather about continuously striving for improvement and ensuring that every student has the best possible learning experience.

The Rubric can be applied to course design across modalities—online, face-to-face, or something in between. For online courses, the rubric is designed to assess whether the course meets the regulatory triad of compliance expectations for online and hybrid courses and programs.

This small scope was determined based on the amount of time faculty have to implement the summer online course template. The toolkit is designed to be completed in about one work day (approximately eight hours). Although faculty members who tested and provided feedback on the 2024 summer online course template recommended additional inclusions, the administration advocated for a narrower initial phase of development to ensure broader and more efficient implementation. To answer faculty’s desire to include more rubric elements, the toolkit is designed with optional steps. Additionally, faculty have access to the course design rubric and can self-assess their course(s). ( function( $ ) { let panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-66f1ba047cfc3-acc-content-panel'); /* * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly. * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open/close on the first click. */ if ( 1 == 0 ) { panel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ? 'fit-content' : panel.scrollHeight + 'px'; } else { panel.style.maxHeight = '0px'; } $( '#block_acf-block-66f1ba047cfc3-acc-row' ).off( 'click' ).on( 'click', ( function() { let row = document.getElementById( 'block_acf-block-66f1ba047cfc3-acc-row' ); let acc_img = document.getElementById( 'block_acf-block-66f1ba047cfc3-acc-img' ); /* * If the panel is open, close it by setting its height to 0px. * If it's closed, i.e. its height is 0px, open it b setting its height to fit-content if in backend, or scrollHeight if frontend. * This is necessary because transitions do not work on height: fit-content, causing the accordion to snap open and shut instantly. */ if ( panel.style.maxHeight != '0px' ) { panel.style.maxHeight = '0px'; } else { panel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?

Of the 44 indicators, over half relate to the first day of class or prior, with 20 of the 44 indicators pertaining to the course introduction, including the syllabus. These best practices help your students get acclimated to your course and begin the important work of making students feel belonging in the course community and, more broadly, at Butler. * Faculty who use Butler’s syllabus template (links to Ask.Butler) will meet 12 additional indicators.

7* of 44 course design rubric indicators met

The 2024 summer online course template was adapted from Butler’s Canvas course template. The full Canvas course template is designed to support faculty in the implementation of Butler’s Course Design Rubric, a customized synthesis of several researched-based rubrics designed to meet the specific needs of the Butler community while maintaining federal regulations, accreditation requirements, and best practices. The adapted version for summer 2024 meets seven of these criteria; subsequent phases of the summer online template will increase this number.

While faculty are welcome to use the full Canvas course template, it can feel a bit overwhelming when implementing it all at once. Therefore, to get us started on a pathway of inclusion, accessibility, and compliance, we encourage you to start with the adapted version for summer 2024, which should take about half a day’s work to implement. From our testing, more experienced Canvas users could complete the Level 1 toolkit steps in two to three hours. If the toolkit is taking you longer than six hours, please email APhelp@butler.edu or attend an information session for assistance.
