Session Description
In this session I will introduce an online teaching tool on accessibility in the classroom. I will lay out the steps I took in order to make this WordPress resource accessible, and I will provide an overview of the different components of the resource. This self-guided resource on accessibility draws on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to offer support to instructors to optimize classroom activities in order to equitably engage students in the classroom even when employing active learning strategies. This resource will also provide instructors with the pedagogical foundation that will guide them to redesign classroom activities to equally engage students with accommodation needs.
