Seminar 07A - Going Beyond Basic ADA and S508 Compliance with Universal Design for Learning
PLEASE NOTE: Separate registration and fee is required to attend this seminar.

Compliance guidelines for S508 and the Americans with Disabilities Act are much discussed yet seldom fully implemented in higher education online course environments. Accessibility mandates are often perceived as too complex and difficult to implement on the course development level on a day-to-day basis. As the number of higher education students with identified disabilities increases, the essential elements of universal design for learning can empower both instructors and learners. This seminar will equip course designers and instructors with practical, easy-to-implement strategies for ensuring that course materials are accessible to all learners.
