Thursday, September 29 | 1pm - 2pm
Within our technological teaching and learning environments, how important is it for us to make our courses accessible for diverse learners? In what ways can technology impede learning, and conversely, how can technologies be adapted to expand and enhance learning experiences? What is needed, what can we do?

Inclusive Learning Design: Strategies for Inclusive and Accessible Courses
While we strive to make education a more inclusive and equitable space, there are still significant barriers and systems that hinder students’ ability to fully engage with a course, and which often leave our most vulnerable students out of learning.
This workshop will be an interactive exploration into designing inclusive learning experiences. We will start by discussing the need for inclusive design, look into past initiatives, and provide practical solutions for implementing inclusive design in your courses.
Please come prepared with an activity or assignment that you think could be made more inclusive.
Note: This event will be held online on Zoom. The session will be recorded and distributed to all registrants.
