Universal Design and Ally
Friday, April 22 | 1pm - 2pm
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that addresses learner differences and helps to improve accessibility for learners. UDL is intended to give all students an equal opportunity to succeed. In this workshop, you will learn about the value of applying the UDL Guidelines and learn about some gaps in the framework. We will also take a look at tools and tips to help improve your courses.
Ally is one such tool that can be integrated in Canvas to help you begin. Ally can help make courses more accessible by providing you with a report containing practical guidance with its time-saving interface with identifies and ranks the improvements needed. It also allows students to download documents in alternative formats (like audio or electronic braille). This session will explore Ally in action, and walk you through how to request it for your course.
