This workshop introduces concepts of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and accessibility, and offers participants concrete stories of learners and how they may be impacted by particular course design choices and teaching practices. In addition to accessibility concepts and learners’ experiences, this session also offers key examples as to how faculty members can design their courses to be more accessible and inclusive, including features that accommodate the learning needs of the Deaf or hard-of-hearing community. We will engage participants in discussions about the what, how and why of accessibility, as well as their institutional and individual priorities and goals around these concepts. The focus of this workshop is on creating accessible online Arts courses using tools supported by Arts ISIT including Canvas, Kaltura and Zoom.
