Liz,
 
I am working on an Office Mix training for a workshop on April 22.  I
am happy to share those materials with you once they are complete.
 
Thanks,

Good afternoon!
 
I share an office with our Instructional Technology Specialist, and
we’ve been getting a lot of questions from faculty who teach online.
They’re wanting educational technology tools that provide/support more
interactivity, multimedia, games, etc. which are also free/inexpensive
and look appealing. (No small order there! *smile*) We do not want to
promote any tools that are not accessible. The other specialist and I
have been compiling a list of technologies that range from definitely
not accessible to somewhat accessible, but we’re not coming across many
which offer full accessibility. 
 
She’s willing to help instructors build interactive elements accessibly
in our LMS, but those will definitely have limitations and not look as
appealing. We’ve offered training on SoftChalk but few faculty have been
interested and we have limited licenses available. Office Mix appears to
be making a good effort in accessibility, but we’ve not developed
training in that yet.
 
Have you discovered any tools you would recommend?
