Topic: How Three Campuses Are Addressing Office of Civil Rights Actions

This session brings attendees the experiences of three campuses who are responding to the actions of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). From initial responses to long-term planning, panelists will share their approaches, challenges, and successes in addressing legal, ethical, and logistical factors related to OCR actions.

Topic: UDL, Accessibility, and Quality Assurance – Collaborations at the University of Arizona for Accessible Online Classes

The University of Arizona’s Office of Digital Learning and Disability Resources collaborate to ensure quality, accessible, universally designed courses for UA Online. Key partnership elements include sharing resources and knowledge around innovative technologies for teaching and best practices for accessibility and inclusive learning components.


Session 3: 11:00 AM PDT/2:00 PM EDT
Topic: Technology Strategies for Supporting Students with Disabilities

This session explores assistive technology, mobile apps, and other technology strategies to directly support students with disabilities. Speakers will share insights into researching, selecting, supporting, and training for assistive technology for students.


Session 4: 12:10 PM PDT/3:10 PM EDT
Topic: Procuring accessible ICT and what to do when “everything is an exception”

Campuses around the country have worked to establish procedures for the procurement and implementation of accessible ICT. However, once accessibility review processes are in place, it quickly becomes evident that most products on the market are not fully accessible. This presentation will discuss this reality and how it can be addressed.
