Restructuring Our Student Success Seminar with a QM Backbone: A Community Effort

Using QM Standards as a foundation, the Student Success Seminar (a required course for all freshmen) was redesigned to include more student interaction, engagement, individualization, choice, and support. We created an online shell that all courses, on and off campus, face-to-face or online, use so that sections being taught across the state would be consistent. We enlisted faculty and staff members, part-time instructors, community members, and students to help develop modular content and share their expertise.

Road of Accommodation to Accessibility

Accessibility is a hot topic in higher education and for good reason—education should embrace and welcome learners of all abilities. We, as college administrators, faculty and staff, are responsible for ensuring an inclusive learning environment for all of our students. What’s the difference between accommodation and accessibility? How do you ensure your courses are accessible for all students? We’ll share our road-trip experience from three perspectives: disability services coordinator, faculty and instructional designer.
