Chances are that you have current students, staff, and others who may join your program in the future with hand motor, visual, or auditory difficulties. For this reason, it is good practice to know how to be inclusive so that program and class materials are readable and program digital devices are navigable. It’s also important to understand how to support students’ use of their own devices. Come learn about basic settings and instructions for creating equitable access at your program and in your classes.
This webinar is offered as a collaboration between the SABES Program Support PD Center Digital Literacy and ADA Training and Resources teams.
