Quality Matters: Emergency Remote Instruction Checklist

Quality Matters, a nonprofit organization focused on standards for online learning, has created a set of checklists for rapidly moving classes online in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Emergency Remote Instruction Checklists for higher education provides “considerations, tips, and actionable strategies to enact during an institutional move to temporary remote instruction of classroom-based courses.”

During this session we will preview a video by Dr. Bethany Simunich, Director of Research and Innovation for Quality Matters. Dr. Simunich will explain how the checklists can be used to assist instructors in Higher Ed when moving to remote instruction in an emergency.

The advice is prioritized by phases: starting points, next steps and longer-term considerations.
