Track: Learning experience design/ Volet: Conception des expériences d’apprentissage
Type: One-hour Innovative Topic Discussion
There is a lot of discussion in academia about how to create accessible learning experiences. That said, so far, the knowledge of how to use accessible and inclusive learning tools has been put on the shoulders of students and central departments. Most professors, teachers, trainers, and teaching assistants do not know, and in some cases do not care, about accessible learning design. It's not their problem. The goal of this discussion topic is to create the empathy required to acknowledge that it is everyone's responsibility to create inclusive and accessible classrooms. If learning is for everyone, we need to learn how to teach everyone.
Learning objectives
Understand the importance of accessibility requirements; Practice accessible learning design techniques; Commit to the practice of teaching with accessibility in mind
