What is accessibility, and why does it matter, particularly for online courses? Join us for an interactive workshop to get started making your course accessible to all learners. You'll consider how to reinvent your course materials, activities, and assignments to improve the learning experience for your students. We’ll guide you to proactively apply principles of Universal Design for Learning and accessibility and share university resources to support you in this endeavor.
 
 This workshop is an introduction to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and accessibility. UDL refers to principles and best practices for ensuring that all activities, assignments, outcomes, and instruction are designed so that students have multiple ways to interact with content and be assessed on their learning. Accessibility, in the context we use it, is the practice of designing content and using technology so that students with vision, auditory, motor and cognitive disabilities can successfully navigate, use and benefit from them.
