 Inclusion Mindset 

Designing Accessible Learning Programs

The session explores how to design and evaluate current programs for accessibility and compliance. It provides tools to tackle the challenge of creating accessible content that engages learners with various access needs due to disability and medical conditions to optimize the learning process. We examine high level options for to assess learning, testing systems, program implementation and final integration into an LMS. Tools and checklists to establish a plan of action to complete a comprehensive review process are provided.

This is a highly interactive program; participants will explore the big picture aspects of creating an accessible learning program and Section 508 compliance strategies. All four types of access needs are identified and modeled during the session, we demonstrate access to learning for participants with auditory, visual, physical, and cognitive needs.

Key Take-aways:

• Identify the four types of learning access needs and the law requiring access
• Integrate inclusive ideas and methodologies to design accessible learning materials
