Universal Access to Education:Faculty Resources and Support for Alternative Media

Overview

Access to information and knowledge is emerging and changing around us. Institutions of higher learning have seen changes regarding delivery of information including online classes and email. Additionally printed textbooks and published material still have had a significant influence on how faculty conveys subject matter and how students interact with that matter. Within both the public and private arenas the world is seeing changes in the publishing industry. There is for the first time a move toward universal design - whether planned or based on technological evolution.

This presentation will explore the tools and changes within the laws that have for years influenced the disability community and now are playing a significant role in how students of all abilities will access information. Participants will learn about the informational supports and resources that will help them to produce, recommend and promote the most accessible material. By adopting some of these practices participants will create learning environments that are accessible so they can refocus their attention on the central task of educating students.
