Pre-homework:
- Introduction: Post a meme (in this Google doc) that explains something about who you are as a teacher and who you are as a student. Write your name above the meme, and write a caption below it (there’s an example in the doc).
- Blackboard Accessibility Training: Log in to Blackboard, navigate to “Accessibility Training” in the top navigation menu, and click “enroll.”
- Review “Topic 1. UDL & Your Teaching” (especially the video called UDL At a Glance). Browse / skim through the other resources in this module. Make sure to take the Lesson Quiz called UDL & Your Teaching at the end of the module
- Sign up to be responsible for one group of the following modules about a technology that you might use in your hybrid course. By “responsible” we mean that you could determine and explain to someone else about whether or not a sample text is using accessible design:
Blackboard Accessibility
OR
Word, Excel, and PDF Documents (please do all three)
OR
PowerPoints Documents and Multimedia (please do both)
- As you review the Blackboard material, think about how it is teaching you as well as what you’re learning. Think about your engagement as a “student.” How are you demonstrating what you’ve learned? How would we, as your instructors, know what you have learned? Be prepared to share your insights in the next session.
- Collaboratively annotate the “Accessible Syllabus” using hypothes.is: [Note: if you need to join the Hybrid Seminar Hypothes.is group after the first session, please contact Lindsey for more information]. Note that you will need to check your e-mail and confirm your invitation before you can log in if you don’t already have a hypothes.is account. You are invited to use your real name or a handle (fake name), but if you use a handle, please let Lindsey or Tamara know so that we know who is commenting.
- Once you have joined the group, click on this link to view the Accessible Syllabus. Add at least 2-3 annotations, or comment on other participants’ annotations (anywhere on the site). You are welcome to make more than 2-3 comments or annotations. Make sure to choose the Hybrid Seminar 2019 group. You must be logged in, and you must have accepted the invitation to the group to do this.
