20% of Your Students Have Disabilities; Here’s How to Make Your Course Accessible to Them
In this webinar, Stacy Branham, Associate Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, shares practical examples of how to create a more accessible classroom experience, which, in addition to breaking down barriers for students with disabilities, ultimately improves the learning experience for all. Her research investigates how technologies operate in social settings where one or more people have a disability, yielding actionable design guidance and proof of concept prototypes.
Transparency In Teaching and Learning (TILT)
This webinar covers Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT). This teaching model clarifies to students the instructor's choices for lesson plans and specifies how those choices relate to course goals. Research demonstrates that students exposed to transparent assignments gain academic confidence and a sense of belonging. TILT moves away from the “what” of teaching to the “how” and “why” of teaching.
