Does your online/hybrid course still resemble an accessibility obstacle course although your instructional materials are accessible? This workshop will focus on improving the accessibility and usability of a fully or partially online course by applying simple course design and management strategies with in the parameters of your Learning Management System. Furthermore, we will share some strategies on how to improve cross campus efforts to provide all students with a barrier-free education.

The presenters will walk participants through an accessible course designed in Moodle, a learning management system, highlighting the perspective of students who use adaptive technology to access coursework online. The session will cover accessibility and the law as it relates to instructional materials, and institutional practices which provide accommodations to students with disabilities. Lastly, we will share teaching and learning tools our campus has developed keeping accessibility in mind.
