 * Integrating QM Across the Curriculum: How Standards 1 and 8 Frame the Student Experience of Learning** - The community will examine course design with the goal to engage students in intentional and strategic learning and to create online learning content and environments that are accessible to all.

Framing questions: 1) "What if everyone designed courses so that every student had an idea of how and why the learning process is structured the way that it is? 2)"What changes do we need to make so that face-to- face and online components are accessible to all students? These are the questions that arose in our social media and participatory learning FLCs on the evenings that we explored QM and designing learning experiences using universal design principles. In frustration and elation one participant exclaimed : "If only I could get everyone to "do" Standard One, I would be happy. . ." and the community agreed. If we could understand and address students' understandings of what is to be learned in our courses and how they should go about learning it we could design so that learning was strategic and intentional ( Ellis and Goodyear, 2010).
 * FLC Detail**

This relationally based FLC will use the QM process and the QM rubric to begin to think about, reflect upon, engage with and design for elearning with the student experience in mind. It will reach across silos to focus on how the student views learning and learning opportunities and how we can do a better job at making this transparent and explicit through putting the QM rubric in their hands and ours.
