Marshall Online is upgrading its distance course review process in response to faculty feedback. The result of a collaborative effort among instructional designers and faculty, the Marshall H.O.M.E. Course Checklist focuses on both course design and delivery by drawing on best practices for quality assurance as well as customizing Marshall-specific standards for a humanistic experience. We invite you to review the H.O.M.E. Checklist, which is still under construction, in this short survey.

Assessing for Critical Thinking: What actually constitutes critical thinking? How can we assess it? We share best practices for designing and assessing assignments that promote critical thinking.
Designing Tests for Academic Integrity: Time limits, question view, and feedback settings in Ultra Tests can support academic integrity. We show you how to customize these to your testing needs.
Creating an Overall Grade: Using the overall grade column in Ultra ensures transparency, facilitates communication, and provides a comprehensive view of student performance. Find this and other tutorials by enrolling in our Ultra Instructor Resource Center.

Online Student Engagement:

“Staying Motivated for Online Students” hosted by Marshall Online on March 6th was a huge success! Thanks for sharing this event with your students. The program was led by Kaye Godbey, Coordinator of Wellness Programs. During this session, students could identify their motivators, learn self-care tips, and review wellness tools available to them.

Congratulations!

Marshall Online is proud to announce the addition of two new distance programs.
The BA, History is a new blended (hybrid) program, and the BA, Public Administration and Policy is a new online program. We truly appreciate Dr. Greta Rensenbrink and all the History faculty along with Dr. Damien Arthur and the Political Science faculty and their hard work to bring these programs to life. A special note, the faculty created courses in the upgraded Ultra format, and we are excited to see these courses offered in the upcoming terms.
