Distance Education Strategies & Solutions:
Accessibility Basics |
|
|
Join us today, January 22, at 1:00 Eastern for one of a series of webinars from ProLiteracy and the EdTech Center@World Education.
Implementing basic accessibility principles not only helps ensure that individuals with disabilities and those who use assistive technology can fully participate in distance learning; it also often improves usability for all learners. In this webinar, Dr. Melissa Helquist, Director of the Salt Lake Community College Community Writing Center and Professor of English at Salt Lake Community College will explore the fundamentals of accessibility—including creating accessible documents and delivering audio and video content—to help make accessibility a more central part of your distance education program.

Since March, we’ve been delighted to share the innovations of educators from across the country through our Distance Education Strategy Sessions. In addition to our resource page, where you can find all of the full session recordings and slides, we are excited to announce we’ve taken all of the individual lightning talks and compiled them into a YouTube Playlist! Now you can more readily find, rewatch, and share talks from past sessions more easily!
