Web Accessibility for Online Learning: A How-To Guide for Creating
Accessible Content

Discover how principles of universal design can help you create course
content that can be accessed and used by anyone, including people with
disabilities.

By the end of this workshop, participants will have a good understanding of
the Universal Design Principles for Online Learning, potential
accessibility/usability issues that need to be considered in course design,
and how to create more accessible/usable course content.

This workshop is offered within 10 consecutive days and requires
approximately one hour of reading per day. 3 small individual assignments
will build on one another to produce a final project submission that will
showcase each participant' understanding of how to apply universal design
principles to communication, teaching, and basic course design, including
basic web authoring, styling, and multimedia considerations. Daily focused
group discussion will help participants gain a better understanding of key
design problems, ideas, and potential solutions. Participants are strongly
encouraged to share their ideas, questions, and answers in the workshop
discussions and will be automatically enrolled in the discussion list upon
registration.Additionally, this workshop will host 3 live, synchronous
sessions (on days 1, 7, and 10) via an accessible web conferencing
application called Talking Communities.
