An Inside Look at Accessibility
Thank you for attending last week’s webinar on the new book Guide to Digital Accessibility: Policies, Practices and Professional Development. During the webinar, the book’s editors, Drs. Rae Mancilla and Barbara A. Frey discussed the process for assembling the book, the reasons for its creation and the methods they used to compile and organize its chapters. Additionally, the editors shared some of the major takeaways they uncovered during the editing process. These included guidance on institutional policy, best practices for course design, useful digital accessibility tools, professional development strategies, and the importance of having staff dedicated solely to digital accessibility.
The following resources related to the webinar are now available to access:
- The webinar recording.
- The webinar slides.
- A document featuring answers to participant questions that the presenters weren’t able to address during the webinar.
- As mentioned during the webinar, visit the Accessibility & Usability Resource Site (AURS) — an evolving compilation of information, strategies and best practices created by the QM community.
Your Compendium for Best Practices on Digital Accessibility
The Guide to Digital Accessibility is available now and features the perspectives of nearly two dozen educators from the QM community. Full of insights derived directly from the experiences of these professionals, the book offers practical solutions to common issues and situations spanning the world of digital education.
“Looking for a single resource to inform your accessibility work? Guide to Digital Accessibility: Policies, Practices and Professional Development is it! This go-to collection of writings shares insights and practices on a wide range of accessibility topics, from helpful primers on the subject to guidance for course design and professional development efforts.
