Inclusive Pedagogy:

Fall 2024

Ableism in Higher Education

This webinar will assist participants in understanding ableism as a form of oppression and identifying its presence at our institutions. It will also present the myriad ways that this may impact faculty and students.

Case Studies of Access in Arts

This session will include examples of ways in which arts organizations and museums have tried to make the visual and performing arts more accessible. Included in this session will be an introduction to resources to support you in doing this work.

Building in Access Webinar

We want the next generation of professionals in our disciplines to be well-prepared for their futures. To do this means we need to teach accessibility principles from the start, just like we teach students to follow style guides like MLA and APA. We teach style guides because we value academic integrity. We teach accessibility because we value inclusion.

All of our fields involve the creation of things like presentations, documents, videos, websites, etc. that are shared within teams, organizations, with clients and more broadly to the public. To prepare students for this work we can require the materials they share with peers or more broadly to be accessible. This workshop will walk folks through how to build in these requirements and what supports would need to be in place to make sure students could meet these requirements.


Designing for Readability Webinar

Are you a faculty member struggling to get your students to complete reading assignments? Level up your document and presentation skills by learning how to create these materials so that they are designed to be digestible and easy to read. This session will talk about how to use headings, space, bullets, fonts, and color to make attractive and easy to read materials.

Neurodiversity:

Fall 2023-Spring 2024

Part 1: Supporting our Diverse Student Body: Executive Functioning

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of executive functioning needs for neurodivergent students, with an emphasis on actionable, low response effort universal supports.


 Part 2: Supporting our Diverse Student Body: Continuation of Executive Functioning

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the continuation of executive functioning through Universal & Tiered Supports.


 Part 1: Supporting our Diverse Student Body: Neurodivergence in Higher Education and Universal Supports

This workshop will provide a high-level overview of neurodivergence and autism in higher education, as well as universal strategies to support student success in higher education environments. 


Part 2: Supporting our Diverse Student Body: Continuation of Universal Supports & Case Study Analysis

This webinar will provide an in-depth discussion of universal strategies and will discuss the “why” in supporting self-determination for students with disabilities with a focus on universal supports. We will brainstorm ways we can implement universal design in our work and will engage in case study analysis.


Neurodiversity Webinar

This session will provide an overview of neurodiversity (e.g., Autism Spectrum, ADHD). Participants will have an opportunity to apply principles of inclusive teaching to support these students.

Accessibility for Math Webinar

The Accessibility for Math Webinar - Accessible Equations aims to provide a faculty-focused training for math accessibility, which prioritizes:

  1. Understanding what we mean by accessible math
  2. How to identify accessible and inaccessible math in resources, (but spends most of the time on) 
  3. What are some accessible workflows or tools that can be incorporated into what the faculty are already doing.

Additionally, the Accessible Equations webinar focuses on equations, MathML, and creating math that is high fidelity (zoomable), portable (transferable into other formats like audio or braille), and screen readable (Readable by programs like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver). With a focus on the accessible workflows that instructors can use, whether they prefer to use Microsoft Products, write content directly into the LMS (D2L Brightspace), or write in LaTeX.


UDL for STEM Webinar

The Universal Design for Learning in STEM Webinar aims to provide a faculty-focused training for math accessibility, which prioritizes:

  1. Understanding what we mean by accessible math
  2. How to identify accessible and inaccessible math in resources, (but spends most of the time on)
  3. What are some accessible workflows or tools that can be incorporated into what the faculty are already doing.

Additionally, the UDL for Learning in STEM webinar will focus on the basic principles of Universal Design as applied in STEM courses. The webinar will cover how we can use the foundational mindsets of accessibility, like multiple means of representation into how we share complex mathematical ideas like charts and graphs, and how the systems with the best approaches to math accessibility can aid us in doing that.
