Engaging Students with Accessibility (Group Training)

Inaccessibility can break students. This workshop covers the importance of accessibility, and gives attendees the tools and skills they need to implement it.

By the end, participants will know:

What Universal Design for Learning is, why it's important, and how easy it can be to implement
How different disabilities affect students' learning experiences
How designing for accessibility benefits all students
How to create accessible documents
The accessibility features in the tools they already use
The resources available to them
