📘 Creating a Culture of Accessibility

Friday, April 21st (2:00 PM to 3:30 PM)

Register at https://forms.microsoft.com/r/2sY7Su1mPK

Ensuring course content is accessible to all learners is essential to student success! When students cannot access content, they miss out – and we, as a community of learners, also miss out on the connections and contributions students might have made.

During this 90-minute session, we will: discuss the importance of creating accessible content, review accessibility standards, introduce tools used to help create accessible content, and better understand how to approach the adoption of publisher content while ensuring accessibility.

Open Labs 

These laboratory sessions are held in DAL1.170 where faculty and adjuncts can come and go to gain assistance in instructional design, technology support or to spend time working together as a departmental team to develop new courses. Our office also work alongside instructors to answer questins about online or hybrid teaching strategies through one-on-one consultations.

Open Labs are held in DAL1.170 every:

  • Monday from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
  • Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
