EdTech for All: Creating Accessible Digital Content

Date/Time/Room
Monday, August 1

Audience

As you’ve shifted your curriculum to include blended, technology-rich instruction, have you been creating digital content that is accessible to all students? Would your content be accessible to students with visual/hearing impairments or neurodiversity?

By intentionally and thoughtfully considering accessibility in the initial phases of content design, we can develop content that is readily available to all learners. Join us to explore the qualities of creating accessible digital curricular content that works for everyone. This session will focus on best practices for creating accessible titles, headings, formatting, hyperlinks, and visual content across a variety of digital mediums, as well as the edtech tools that can make implementing these changes a breeze.
