AU's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Task Force is pleased to offer an information session/ conversation on the topic of Digital Accessibility. Digital Accessibility is the practice of creating electronic materials that are usable by all individuals, regardless of disability status or the use of assistive technology. It is also an important step to further promote inclusivity among our students, staff, and faculty.
The session will provide a brief overview of Digital Accessibility, as it applies to Title II of Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as practical steps everyone can take to increase the accessibility of their documents, web pages, and course materials. A variety of instructions, tools, and resources will also be provided.
This event will be held on Tuesday, November 18 from 11:00am to 12:00pm. To request the Zoom link, please email Meghanne Freivald or Chris Gause.
