The purpose of this session is to expand educators understanding of accessible classrooms. With the exponential increase of online materials being provided to students, it is crucial for us to provide training to educators on information and tools to make their environment (especially online environment!) more inclusive. This session will cover document formatting for accessibility such as PDF/E-Reader and OCR tools, awareness on hyperlinks, choose fonts and design slide for visual accessibility needs. Resources will also be provided for closed captioning and tools for captioned translations. During the conversations I am having with attendees I will ask them to evaluate their classroom and the direct changes they might be able to make in order to increase accessibility in their environment. Learner success will be evaluated when attendees walk away with the understanding of how to transform one of their lessons or resources with increased accessibility awareness.
