Session #1: Friday, February 15, 2019 from 10:30am – 3pm

Session theme:

Creating a classroom culture and accessible hybrid course design.

Learning goals:

  • Participants can explain why “accessibility” is a broad / evolving set of (changing) practices rather than a checklist
  • Participants can explain the concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
  • Participants can locate tutorials on how to format documents (MS Word, PDFs, Power Points, etc.) to maximize accessibility
  • Participants can determine other practices (i.e. language, policies, images, text, multiple entry points, assessment practices) that can  make classes more accessible
  • Participants can evaluate the affordances and limitations of a variety of hybrid learning environments and how the culture they create makes participants feel as “students”
