Webinar: The New Accessibility: Students With Disabilities and Access to Technology

Join Inside Higher Ed editors Scott Jaschik and Doug Lederman as they discuss the booklet: The New Accessibility: Students With Disabilities and Access to Technology during the upcoming webcast on Thursday, April 23 at 2:00 pm ET.

Accessibility issues are crucial to the ability of students with disabilities of all types to fully receive a higher education. In the digital era, this means issues big and small — from the usability of an LMS to a professor’s choices on a syllabus.

This webcast will explore the approaches colleges and universities are taking and some of the tough questions institutions are facing to serve this student population. Some of the topics addressed in this webcast include:

• High-tech instructional materials and how they impact students with disabilities.
• Creating formal policies for digital accessibility.
• Making course content available to all students.
• Inclusive teaching strategies to use in the classroom.
