Webinar: Online Course Accessibility Training for Faculty

Overview

Professors want to create a powerful, engaging, and vibrant learning environment for students.  When creating both content and experiences, professors must consider the needs of our learners, including students that may require accommodations.  This two-part, recorded webinar will outline what "accessibility" is, why it is important, and how professors can apply universal design elements to their courses and course materials to meet accessibility guidelines.

The first video covers the definitions and legal landscape of accessibility in higher education.  The second video covers design considerations for faculty when creating content for learners.
