Overview
In this session, we go over some strategies for creating an inclusive, accessible culture in the hybrid classroom. We begin with accessibility and inclusion because these things are key to designing an engaging, rich, and equitable learning experience for all. These are especially important to consider in a hybrid classroom where it can be challenging to establish a sense of belonging when the class only meets face-to-face half of the time.
Learning Goals
- Participants identify three (or more) ways to create a classroom culture in their hybrid course that reflects their teaching philosophy.
- Participants articulate strategies for soliciting ongoing feedback from students about how to make a classroom more accessible.
- Participants define the concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
- Participants recognize several specific practices that can make classes more accessible.
