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?

Bring your perspectives and share your thoughts in this upcoming Viewpoints discussion.
