This workshop explores the basics of digital accessibility and the resources that are available to instructors at MSU. We will explore components of Universal Design for Learning and discuss the ways educators can apply these principles to their own courses. This course is intended for instructors of students at any level.
Upon completion of this learning experience participants will be able to:
- Explain the importance of implementing digital accessibility practices in the classroom
- Recognize the concepts involved in universal design for learning (UDL)
- Identify resources related to digital accessibility that are available at MSU
- Discuss possibilities for making their new and/or existing courses accessible
Additional Resource: Digital Accessibility Toolkit (msu.edu)
