Ofelia Mangen, PhD (Digital Education)

Details

Integrating a few basic practices is a first step towards ensuring that all students can engage with course materials on the first day of class. While designed to provide equitable access to individuals with disabilities, these practices enhance usability, flexibility, and the overall learning experience for all students.

In this workshop, we’ll introduce the foundational concepts and practices that you need to create accessible course content. We’ll also introduce the Ally accessibility checker in Brightspace, which you can use to review materials that you have already included in your courses. Please bring course materials or questions that you would like to share and discuss with the group.

With awareness and preparation, you can design materials, assignments, and classroom experiences that support learners with diverse abilities, needs, and interests, fostering a learning environment where all students can thrive!
