[Athen] FW: Blackboard Innovative Teaching Series: Accessibility Inclusive Classrooms

[Thompson, Rachel]

I shared Paul¹s question with Joanna Hunt from Blackboard. Her response is:

³The webinar on March 17th is mostly focused on some broad principles for
building inclusive educational experiences that can be applied to any
educational environment. However, we will likely use a Blackboard Learn
course as the ³example² that we work through ­ to show good/bad practices.
I think many of your faculty will find value in it.²

This is during our spring break and I will be out of town. If you do
participate, I would love to know how it goes. Have a good day!

Is this going to have any value to people not using Blackboard?

March BITS: Meeting the Challenges of Accessibility Inclusive Classrooms
As more and more attention is being placed on meeting the needs of
students with diverse abilities, educators are looking more closely at
inclusive classroom goals and how
 to accomplish them without adding significant additional time and effort
to building online and in classroom curriculum.
In this session JoAnna Hunt, Blackboard¹s Accessibility Manager, will
provide an overview of inclusive classrooms, outline the benefits and the
challenges faced in implementing
 them, and provide a practical framework for assessing your pedagogy, your
content, and the technology you¹re using in the classroom to help you
easily achieve inclusivity in your online and face to face classrooms.

Date: Thursday, March 17 2:00 pm Eastern
Features Speaker: JoAnna Hunt, Accessibility Manager Blackboard
