Abstract

As a student, what is it like to come to college and learn that many of its resources are not readily accessible? As a service provider, what do you need to know about accessibility?

Our ongoing commitment to Universal Design (UD) and accessibility is key to empowering our students to learn. Through activities, discussions, and reflections, participants in this workshop will begin to learn about and experience ways to apply Universal Design and accessible practices to e-learning.
