Issue details
Technology has the potential to help people communicate; explore the world in ways that might otherwise be dangerous, costly, or unattainable; capture, store, and make sense of large amounts of information; and disseminate information and ideas to disparate audiences. Yet, the same tools that benefit many can prevent others from participating if used improperly. Making sure individuals can access and use the instructional resources available to them as part of their learning continues to gain ground internationally.
Possible lessons, activities, and other instructional materials could include but are not limited to those that focus on or exemplify:
- ADA compliance (or international equivalence) for educators
- Inclusion approaches among P-16+ audiences
- Teaching inclusion approaches
- Universal Design principles (UDL)
- PK-16+ Lessons that leverage UDLs multiple means of access, representation, and evaluation
- Accessibility in online learning/web development
- Assistive technology/screen reader training
- Making word processing, presentation, and PDF documents accessible
- Multimedia/audiovisual accessibility
- Using styles to provide a logical sequence/flow in documents
- Creating accessible hyperlinks
- Contrast colors and accessibility
- Tools and applications that support accessibility
- When and/or how to use transcripts, subtitles, closed captioning, and descriptive audio
- How to provide closed captions, subtitles, or descriptive audio on popular media channels
- International issues/approaches to accessibility
