Seeking Examples of Accessible Online Instruction

  • 1.  Seeking Examples of Accessible Online Instruction

    Posted Mar 08, 2022 02:05 PM

    Do you have examples of online instruction that utilizes multiple means of representation, allows for student interaction, and/or provides students with multiple means of engagement?  Relevant examples will be highlighted in the chapter "Designing for Everyone: Accessibility, Inclusion, and Equity in Online Instruction" to be published in Universal Design for Learning in Academic Libraries: Theory into Practice, edited by Rachel McMullins and Danielle Skaggs, from ACRL (forthcoming, 2022). Note, the chapter will be published using a creative commons license. Sharing your example not only highlights the work of your and your library, but shares it with a community of practioners committed to accessible learning. 

    Examples might include online learning that:

    • Provides self-assessment or reflection activities
    • Provides feedback in real time
    • Utilizes community/group work
    • Embeds support for complex ideas or vocabulary
    • Utilizes graphic organizers, checklists, or outlines
    Please fill out this brief questionnaire  to be included. Contact Kimberly Shotick at:  kshotick@niu.edu if you have any questions. Submissions close March 31st.
