Getting Started with Digital Accessibility

Jan 14
faculty professional development opportunity

Facilitator: Abby Machson-Carter, instructional designer, Center for Teaching Innovation

 

In this 60-minute virtual workshop, faculty will learn about how accessible course design ensures that every student—regardless of ability—can access and engage with class materials. 

 

We’ll begin with an overview of basic accessibility principles and discuss recent updates to the federal Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Title II guidelines for digital materials. Then, we’ll share resources and strategies available to SSU faculty, including built-in accessibility tools in Canvas and Microsoft Word to help identify and remove technical barriers that may be present in course readings, assignments, and more.

Accessibility is a community effort that takes time, and CTI is here to support faculty in Salem State’s ongoing efforts to make learning more equitable. Join us for this introductory session to feel more confident about designing and updating courses that are accessible, inclusive, and ready for all students this semester and beyond.

Register for this virtual session via Zoom.
