Session 1 (35 min) | 8:50a - 9:25a
Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning: Unifying Efforts in a resource constrained system | Brad Grabham, Laura Hamrick
Abstract: Campuses are committed to fostering an accessible environment now and into the future. The goal is to not only to create a rich learning experience for all students, staff, and faculty, but also to become a leader in promoting universal access for all users. During this session, we will facilitate a panel discussion of current accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) initiatives on campuses. We will discuss efforts to meet our goal of creating a rich learning experience for all and invite participants to join this discussion as we focus on three main topics: 1) design of curriculum with a focus on accessibility and UDL; 2) training and support plans on our campuses; and 3) equitable assessment tools. By the end of this session, participants will enrich their understanding of concepts related to UDL and strengthen their professional course design skills to enhance the quality of student learning.
