Event date: Friday, March 22, 2019
This conference will give participants the awareness, skills, and tools needed to support diverse learners of all abilities. Creating accessible digital content minimizes barriers to learning, while supporting academic excellence. Universal Design for Learning principles focus on creating flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences.
The information shared at this conference will supply attendees with knowledge and skills to ensure we are meeting the needs of all learners throughout the student lifecycle, from initial access as prospective students through campus websites to utilizing campus services, participating in student life, and engaging with instructors and course content during their academic career.
