Planning for Accessibility Options

  • Due No Due Date
  • Points None

Planning for accessibility doesn't automatically mean creating multiple versions or discarding activities, assignments, or content up-front because it could be inaccessible for certain students.  It means having thought through what you would do if a student for whom that activity was inaccessible registered for your class.

 

Are you ready to support students needing accommodation for disabilities?

Review the activities and assignments in your online (or to-be-online) course and pick one that may provide challenges to students with visual, hearing, or motor disabilities.

  1. What specific part(s) of this activity/assignment may be problematic?
  2. How could you potentially revise this activity/assignment to improve accessibility?
  3. What might be an accessible alternative to this activity/assignment for a student with disabilities? How would it meet the same learning outcomes of the original activity/assignment while eliminating the accessibility issue(s)? 

Did you know your campus teaching and learning center can help you with this activity? 

When you are finished, save your revised and alternate activity/assignment somewhere you will be able to find it for a future reference when you have a student who needs accommodation.
