Inclusive Teaching Seminar 5 – Designing Courses for Accessibility

03/17/2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

For Graduate Students: This is Session 5 of our six-part series exploring the principles and frameworks that define an inclusive teaching practice through guided debrief discussions based on the CTL’s Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) “Inclusive Teaching: Supporting All Students in the College Classroom.” Attendance at prior or later sessions of CTL’s Inclusive Teaching discussion series is not required to attend this session, but is highly recommended. Graduate students who can attend at least five sessions are encouraged to apply to participate in this program on the seminar level. Learn more here.

Registration here.

Prior to this session, participants are expected to have completed the Module 4 of Columbia University CTL’s MOOC (approximately 45 minutes). If you have not had a chance to complete the Overview of Inclusive Teaching Module, we highly recommend reviewing its content as well.

During this session we will reflect on the considerations for reflecting upon accessibility of course elements using lenses of Universal Design offered in the online module and debrief our own experiences or plans for enacting such ideas in the classroom.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
– Describe key components of Universal Design for Learning
– Identify ways to incorporate multiple modes of representation, action and expressions, and engagement into course design
– Reflecting upon accessibility of course elements and identify areas of growth using lenses of Universal Design and inclusive teaching

***Registration will close the night before the live session.***
